Question

Consider the following for Crop Evapotranspiration estimation approaches

A. Modified Blaney- Criddle method is only temperature based
B. Modified Penman Monteith method requires more climate data
C. Thornthwaite method is based on temperature data
D. Crop cofficient is multiplied to get reference evapotranspiration by Pan evaporation method
E. Radiation method requires air temperature and sunshine radiation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
B, C, E Only

The question asks to identify the correct statements regarding different Crop Evapotranspiration (ET) estimation methods.

Method Accuracy Assessment

Let's evaluate each statement:

  • A. Modified Blaney Criddle method is only temperature based: This is incorrect. The Blaney-Criddle method uses mean monthly temperature and the percentage of annual daylight hours. It is not solely based on temperature.
  • B. Modified Penman Monteith method requires more climate data: This is correct. The Penman-Monteith method is a physically-based approach and requires comprehensive climate data, including solar radiation, air temperature, humidity, and wind speed, making it more data-intensive than simpler methods.
  • C. Thornthwaite method is based on temperature data: This is correct. The Thornthwaite method primarily relies on mean monthly temperature data to estimate potential evapotranspiration.
  • D. Crop coefficient is multiplied to get reference evapotranspiration by Pan evaporation method: This is incorrect. The Pan evaporation method uses a pan coefficient ($K_p$) multiplied by pan evaporation ($E_{pan}$) to estimate reference evapotranspiration ($ET_o$). The crop coefficient ($K_c$) is then used to adjust $ET_o$ to estimate crop evapotranspiration ($ET_c$).
  • E. Radiation method requires air temperature and sunshine radiation: This is correct. Methods like the Hargreaves-Samani equation, which fall under radiation-based approaches, utilize temperature data (mean, max, min) and estimates of solar radiation (often derived from sunshine hours).

Conclusion on Correct Statements

Based on the analysis, statements B, C, and E are correct.

Final Answer Selection

The combination of correct statements is B, C, and E.

Therefore, the correct option is 4.
