  1. USDA TSTAR Evapotranspiration and crop coefficients for two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with variable surface resistance under water-limited and non-limited conditions. Victor H. Ramirez-Builes. Graduate student in the Agronomy and soils department-UPRM Research Leader Eric W. Harmsen, Ph.D., P.E Associate Professor – Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering-UPRM Timothy G. Porch, Ph.D. Research Geneticist- USDA/ARS, Tropical Agricultural Research Station, Mayaguez, PR ASA-Meeting Indianapolis, Nov,12-16. 2006

  2. Dry beans production and drought problem Over 20 million ha of dry beans produced worldwide (8.5 M ha in LAC, 4 M ha in Africa). (Blair, 2005) Drought stress: 73% of the Latin American and 40-50% of African bean production occurs under water-deficit. (Blair, 2005) Drought is endemic in >1.5 millions ha of dry bean planted each in northeastern Brazil and central and northern highlands of Mexico. Muñoz-Perea et al.2006) Western U.S. is characterized by arid and semiarid conditions with inadequate summer rainfall. (Muñoz-Perea et al.2006)

  3. Generalized Penman-Monteith equation (P-M) (Penman, 1953; Monteith, 1965). Food and Agricultural Organizartion (FAO-56) method to compute ET ( ET=ETo x Kc). The P-M equation with variable surfaces resistance (rs) can be used directly to compute ET under variable soil moisture conditions. (Abtew and Obeysekera, 1995; Rana et al. 1997; Kjelgaard and Stocle, 2001; Tolk and Howell, (2001) Ortega-Farias et al. 2004; Ortega-Farias et al. 2006) ¿ Could be a good tool for estimating ET directly for partial or sparse canopies under different soil water conditions..?

  4. The surface resistance rs=rL/LAIactive(Szeicz and Long, 1969) The rs parameter model of the P-M is particularly difficult to estimate due the combined influence of: Plant-Soil-Climatic factors. Alves et al. (1998) said that rs is no only a physiological parameter. Some Simplifications and empirical relationships has been used: (Kjelgaard and Stocle, 2001; Ortega-Farias et al. 2004) Other alternative is use single rL and variable LAI: Stainer et al. (1991) recommended using rL value of 162 s.m-1 for sorghum Howell et al. (1994) 134 s.m-1wheat, 280 s.m-1 sorghum and 252 s.m-1for corn Monteith (1981) 100 s.m-1 for most arable crops.

  5. Objectives • Estimate the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) for two common beans genotypes (SER-16 and Morales) under drought and no-drought stress conditions with variable surfaces resistance. ii) Estimate the crop coefficients (Kc, Ks) for two common beans genotypes (SER-16 and Morales) under drought and no-drought stress conditions. iii) Evaluate the behavior of the Penman-Monteith with variable rs to estimate ET.

  40. Conclusions The ET with variable rs is a successful method to estimate ET in common beans with water limited and no-limited conditions. The low ET rates can be associate with the irrigation type and low LAI in the SER-16 genotype case. The moderate drought stress since reproductive to maturity reduce the yield in both common beans dismiss the ET more in Morales than in SER-16. The Kc for Morales was more longer than for SER-16, specialty for differences in LAI.
