Abstract
Evapotranspiration (ET) of fully-irrigated and deficit-irrigated (no irrigation in July, August, and September) was measured in five alfalfa fields at various locations throughout California. Seasonal ET ranged from 838 to 1,651 mm, which differed from historical seasonal ET. Deficit irrigation reduced ET, but the ET difference between fully-irrigated and deficit-irrigated alfalfa was site specific. Yields were reduced by deficit irrigation.
