Where,
ETo = reference evapotranspration (mm/day);
Rn = net radiation at the crop surface (MJ/m2/day);
G = soil heat flux density (MJ/m2/day);
T = mean daily air temperature at 2 m height (°C);
u2 = wind speed at 2 m height (m/s);
es = saturation vapour pressure (kPa) ;
ea = actual vapour pressure (kPa);
es - ea = saturation vapour pressure deficit (kPa);
∆ = slope vapour pressure curve (kPa/°C); and
γ = psychrometric constant (kPa/°C).
