The Class A pan method to estimate the reference evapotranspiration inside a greenhouse

The objective of this work was to compare the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimated by the class A pan installed inside and outside the greenhouse, using two Kp values. The experiment was conducted at the Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias, Campus de Jaboticabal, Brazil. Two class A pans were installed, one inside and other outside the greenhouse. For the class A pan installed inside the greenhouse were used two Kp values, Kp = 0.7 and Kp = 1.0. For the class A pan installed outside the greenhouse was used Kp = 0.85. The value of the ETo inside the greenhouse was lower when compared to the one outside the greenhouse. The results of this work showed the need of using the class A pan inside the greenhouse, using Kp = 1.0.
