Abstract/Contents:"Cool-season, short, and well-watered grass is the world-wide standard reference for crop evapotranspiration (ET) research and practice. Fescue grass (Fetuca arundinacea Schreb.) was grown at Bushland, TX since 1995, and its water use measured with a monolithic, weighing lysimeter. The grass was mowed (to 0.11 m) and irrigated frequently and managed for vigorous growth. It was irrigated with a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system. Data were analyzed for the period 1 July 1995 through December 1999 that included a wide diversity in climatic regimes. Several grass reference ET models including FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (PM), ASCE PM, FAO-24 Penman, Kimberly-96 Penman, SCS-93 PM, Penman-48, and the Hargreaves-Samani equations all for grass; the ASCE PM and Kimberly-82 Penman equations for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.); and the general Priestley-Taylor equation for non-advected conditions were evaluated and contrasted with the daily grass ET measurements. Measured fescue daily ET rates exceeded 10 mm d-1 occasionally. The FAO-56 and ASCE Penman Monteith equations tended to over-estimate during spring and fall and under-estimate during summer and especially on high ET days (> 8 mm d-1). The older Penman formula ET correlated well to the measured daily data. The Hargreaves-Samani and Priestley-Taylor equations substantially under estimated grass ET in this environment."
