Abstract

In this study, we estimated and compared the water balance and total water requirement for Chinese cabbage cultivation in the fall season using weighable lysimeters. The water balance of input and output were investigated according to by two different upland soils. In Chinese cabbage cultivation, the total input was different in precipitation and irrigation, and total output was different in evapotranspiration and drainage. The estimated total water requirement for Chinese cabbage cultivation in the fall season in 2017 and 2018 were lower as compared to that in normal years (1981 - 2010) because of large amount rainfall around transplanting in 2017 and several rainfall events in 2018. The total water requirements for normal years, 2017, and 2018 were 147.2 mm, 143.6 mm, and 135.5 mm, respectively, compared to the normal years, it decreased by 2% in 2017 and by 8% in 2018. The weighable lysimeter has provided a useful tool for the water balance and water requirement estimation of Chinese cabbage and could be developed for several crops in upland condition based on obtained data.

The water balance for Chinese cabbage cultivation in the fall season on different upland soils using weighable lysimeters in 2017 and 2018.
