Abstract

Water consumption by agricultural plants normally refers to all water
evaporated from plant and soil surfaces plus that retained within plant tissues.
However, the amount of water retained within the tissue of agricultural plants
generally is less than 1% of the total evaporated during a normal growing
season. Therefore, water consumption as used in this chapter essentially
involves water evaporated from plant and soil surfaces.
