Barley Water Production function or the relationship between Evapotranspiration and yield

Et = evapotranspiration or water used by crop.


The water production function has grain yield expressed in kg/ha at 14.0 % moisture content.

The water production function is y= -2107+142.8 Et . The coefficient of determination is 0.83
