Estimation of Potential Evapotranspiration and Crop Coefficient of Maize at Rupandehi District of Nepal

This study was conducted to determine the potential evapotranspiration (PET) of maize, the crop coefficient (Kc) under full water requirement as well as the cause of decrease in maize yield. It was determined that the seasonal PET of maize is about 486.6 mm. The Kc under full water supply was found to be: 0.11, 0.35, 1.51 and 0.34 for initial, development, midseason and the late season stages r...

Estimation of Potential Evapotranspiration and Crop Coefficient of Wheat at Rupandehi District of Nepal

This study is carried out to estimate the potential evapotranspiration (PET) and crop coefficient (Kc) for Wheat, BL 3235 variety. A lysimeter is installed to estimate PET at the experimental farm of Agricultural Research Center of Bhairahawa, which is located in western part of Nepal. The Blaney-Criddle formula is used to estimate the Kc for wheat. The estimated values of PET and Kc for wheat ...

Stochastic Forest Modelling at the Forest Level

If taken into account, climate change will, according to current knowledge, have considerable consequences for forest management. However, there is considerable uncertainty regarding what future climate trajectory will follow. The possibilities to analyze uncertainties like this in terms of optimal forest management problems are limited. This is due to, e.g., lack of appropriate methodology, es...
