Abstract
The FAO Penman-Monteith equation is used by the ETo calculator software to calculate reference evapotranspiration – ETo from meteorological data. FAO chose this technique as the standard because it is physically based, roughly approximates grass ETo in the studied region, and explicitly considers both physiological and aerodynamic aspects. The application can handle climate data on a daily, ten-day, and monthly basis. The data may be supplied in a variety of units, and it can be analyzed using regularly used meteorological parameters. In this study, ETo calculator version 3.2 is used to estimate the ETo in Bhavanisagar. The results revealed that, it is possible to estimate ETo by using the ETo calculator. The concept of the reference evapotranspiration was introduced in this study and the result obtained are used further to estimate the evaporative demand of the atmosphere independently of crop type, crop development and management practices.
