Abstract
The crop factor method is applied to unstressed maize, in which grass is the reference crop, and the evapotranspiration of the latter is determined with the simplified equation of Makkink as proposed by De Bruin (1987). Using the crop factor published by Feddes (1987), a good agreement is found with measurements collected during the growing season of 1985 at the Sinderhoeve (51° 59′ N, 5° 45′ E) near Renkum in The Netherlands. It appears that Makkink's method yields slightly better results than the Penman–Monteith equation using surface resistances fitted to the data set itself. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
