Abstract
A model to evaluate hourly evapotranspiration of a greenhouse crop was set up.
The model is based on a combination equation for potential evapotranspiration; i.e. greenhouse evapotranspiration is related both to net available energy and to vapour pressure deficit, coupled with a function of air movement.
Results were compared with total day- and night-time experimental evapotranspiration data of a greenhouse tomato crop for a whole spring growing season.
A very good agreement between observed and evaluated values was found.
