Determination of water requirement for crops in resource limited areas is challenging, yet worsened by the common assumption that all crop varieties within a species have similar water requirements. The objective of the study was to indirectly determine crop evapotranspiration of soybean varieties, using reference evapotranspiration and shoot water content under tillage and no tillage cultivation. The treatments were no tillage and conventional tillage as main plots, and soybean varieties Nyala, SB19, and SB20 as sub-plots, replicated three times. Crop evapotranspiration (ETC) and crop coefficient (KC) were different among varieties, and increased during growth period. SB20 had the highest KC (0.8437 at 87 days after planting - DAP); follow...
