Paper Summary

The researchers compared different methods to estimate how much water plants need in Florida. They found that the Priestley and Taylor method worked best when only daily temperature and precipitation data were available. This method can help with irrigation planning and understanding how seasonal climate changes affect crop water needs in Florida.
