The study looked at how much water winter wheat plants use and lose through evaporation. They used special equipment to measure this in the field over a year. The results showed that winter wheat plants used a total of 360.974 mm of water. Most of this water was lost through evaporation, with 32.8% of the total water used being lost this way. The plants used the most water during the heading-filling stage. Soil also lost water through evaporation, with the highest amount happening during the sowing to tillering stage. Overall, about one-third of the water used by winter wheat plants was lost through evaporation.
