TECHNOLOGIES AND APPROACHES FOR WATER BALANCE STUDIES IN AGROFORESTRY DISCUSSED

LUDHIANA, OCTOBER 19:-----



On the second day CSIRO-AusAID workshop on water balance studies in

agroforestry at PAU, the experts shared with participants different

evapotranspiration (ET) measurement techniques. Giving details, the

workshop organizer and Head of the Department of Forestry and Natural

Resources, Dr. Avtar Singh said that experts were of the opinion that

empirical methods can estimate ET of different cropping systems that

is influenced by climate, soil and plant species. Some instruments

like porometer, sapflow sensors, ventilation chambers, etc. can

directly measure ET. The participants were provided theoretical

background of these techniques and will be provided exposure to their

practical users under field conditions through practical exercises,

said Dr. Singh.
