Determining the deficit coefficient as a function of irrigation depth and distribution uniformity Determinação do coeficiente de déficit em função da lâmina de irrigação e da unifo... by Everardo C. Mantovani, Gregório G. Faccioli, Brauliro G. Leal, Luis C. Costa, Antônio A. Soares, Paulo S. L. Freitas

“…For this, the water deficit coefficients developed in this work were used, as well as the simplified coefficient that takes into account the water distribution by the sprinkler following a uniform distribution, and finally the development of the production functions for the bean crop by using the Mantovani model. The production values simulated by the model, using the normal deficit coefficient, were always less than those simulated with the uniform deficit coefficient for all uniformity levels and all values of the crop's maximum evapotranspiration fraction restored by other sources (p). …”
