Abstract
The influence of solar radiation (G) and saturation deficit (VPDair) of the greenhouse air on transpiration rate, canopy resistance was investigated on a soilless rose crop (cv.
First Red), grown on perlite, during the 1998 summer growing period.
Measurements of TR, G, Tair, VPDair, Tleaf were carried out in a fan-ventilated glasshouse located in the region of Magnesia on the coastal area of Eastern Greece.
Transpiration rate was found to be dependent on solar radiation and VPDair during daytime.
A clear diurnal hysteresis of TR vs.
VPDair, was evidenced.
The above measurements were used for (i) the calibration of a model based on a simplified form of the Penman-Monteith equation: TR=
f1(LAI)G +
f2(LAI)VPDair, and (ii) the determination of a relationship between canopy resistance rc and climate variables.
Application of both models gave satisfactory results.
