Understanding Evapotranspiration

A Practical Guide to Smarter Irrigation

Measure what your crops actually use, not just what’s in the soil 

For decades, irrigation has relied on averages, models, and soil moisture alone. But these don’t tell the whole story. Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) is a real indicator of crop water usage, and is the missing piece that connects soil, plant, and atmosphere into one clear picture. 

In this new CropX white paper, you’ll learn how measuring ET directly helps you irrigate more precisely, save water, and protect yields, all backed by real science and field validation.

Why This Matters: 

Knowing how much water your crop actually uses, rather than only what is available in the soil, changes everything. 
With ET-based irrigation, you can: 

  • Apply the right amount of water at the right time
  • Reduce waste and protect your water resources 
  • Strengthen sustainability and compliance goals 
  • Gain higher yields through better water balance
