Rates of evaporation from barley and from pasture were calculated from rainfall and from changes in soil water content measured with a neutron probe. Corrections were made for drainage. The potential evaporation was calculated for ten-day periods using the Penman--Monteith equation and mean surface
Transpiration from plants is usually greater than root absorption during daylight hours, causing plant water deficits to develop. The severity of water deficits is influenced by atmospheric factors and by the status of water in soil where roots are growing. When plants experience a large water defic
