Crop coefficient

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004769

A dimensionless factor used in agricultural meteorology to relate the evapotranspiration of a specific crop to the reference evapotranspiration of a well-watered grass or alfalfa surface. This coefficient varies with the crop type, growth stage, and environmental conditions. It is a key component in estimating crop water requirements for irrigation scheduling.
