Developing a method for integrating canopy measurements into evapotranspiration predictions

Precision agriculture is an approach to farm management that relies on gathering data and using it to make informed decisions about crop production.
This practice has been shown to improve yield and decrease input costs.
1. Among the various precision agriculture tools, made to measure canopy sensors are gaining popularity as a means of measuring evapotranspiration (ET).
2. ET is a process by which water is transferred from the land surface to the atmosphere. It is made up of two components: transpiration, which is water loss from plants, and evaporation, which is water loss from the soil surface.
3. Accurate predictions of ET are important for irrigation planning and water resource management.
4. There are several methods of estimating ET, but made-to-measure canopy sensors offer a more direct and accurate approach.
5. Canopy sensors measure the amount of water vapor that is exchanged between the atmosphere and the leaves of plants.
6. This information can be used to estimate transpiration rates, which is a key component of ET.
7. Made-to-measure canopy sensors are becoming increasingly popular because they offer a more accurate and direct way to measure ET.
8. There are several companies that manufacture made-to-measure canopy sensors, and many more that offer services for installing and using these sensors.
9. Made-to-measure canopy sensor technology is still evolving, and new applications are being developed all the time.
10. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we manage water resources.

Canopy measurements are critical for understanding how water is lost through evaporation and transpiration by plants. However, there is no standardized method for incorporating these measurements into evapotranspiration (ET) predictions. The goal of this study was to develop a made-to-measure canopy (M2MC) ET model that predicts ET based on specific canopy characteristics.
Materials and Methods:
We conducted a literature review of existing ET models to identify gaps in current knowledge. We then designed and tested the M2MC ET model using data from a field experiment in which we measured various canopy properties, including leaf area index (LAI), leaf inclination angle, and plant height. Finally, we compared the performance of the M2MC ET model to that of the Penman-Monteith (PM) ET model, a commonly used model that does not account for canopy measurements.
Results:
The M2MC ET model performed better than the PM ET model, with predictions that were more accurate and precise. The M2MC ET model also showed improved performance under dry conditions, which are typically challenging for existing models.
Conclusion:
The M2MC ET model is a promising tool for predicting evapotranspiration from made-to-measure canopies. This study highlights the importance of incorporating canopy measurements into ET models to improve predictions of water loss from plants.
