Fig. 1. (a) Comparison between the recharge model-–estimated and lysimeter-measured averaged daily evapotranspiration (ET) from 10 d and (b) comparison of the recharge model-–estimated and adjusted seasonal ET at Luancheng Station. Adjusted ET was calculated from the soil water balance and the simulated deep drainage with the recharge model. The diagonal line represents the 1:1 relationship. Part (b) includes all water treatments. SWD, soil water deficit.

Fig. 2. Accumulation of estimated actual evapotranspiration (ETa) with the recharge model under different irrigation treatments and accumulation of daily average air temperature at Luancheng Station in the three consecutive winter wheat seasons, 1998–2001. ETa_A, ETa_B, ETa_C, ETa_D, and ETa_E are estimated ETa values with the recharge model under the five irrigation treatments (A, B, C, D, and E), which are shown in Table 2.

Fig. 3. Comparison of crop coefficient (Kc)–reference evapotranspiration (ET0) approach to estimate ET with adjusted seasonal ET at Luancheng Station in the three consecutive seasons, 1998–2001. Adjusted ET was calculated from the soil water balance and the simulated deep drainage by the recharge model. The diagonal line represents the 1:1 relationship. All soil water deficit (SWD) treatments are included, except for the no SWD treatment.

Fig. 4. The seasonal pattern of average crop coefficient (Kc) for winter wheat at Luancheng Station in the three consecutive winter wheat season, 1998–2001. Kc was determined from lysimeter-measured actual evapotranspiration and reference evapotranspiration.

Fig. 5. The seasonal pattern of leaf area index (LAI) for winter wheat under different irrigation treatments at Luancheng Station in three consecutive seasons, 1998–2001. Error bars, which represent standard deviation from average LAI, are not shown from 7 May 1999 to 10 June 1999 and in 2000–2001 owing to lack of collecting all LAI data from the experimental plots. Treatments A, B, and C represent slight soil water deficit (SWD) conditions, Treatment D represents no SWD condition, and Treatment E represents severe SWD condition. Irrigation applications of the five treatments are shown in Table 2.

Fig. 6. Seasonal variation of soil water stress coefficient (Ks) and its related irrigation and precipitation at Luancheng Station in three consecutive seasons, 1998–2001. The detailed information of Treatments A, B, C, and E is listed in Table 2. Error bars represent standard deviation of Ks. SWD, soil water deficit.

Fig. 7. Comparison between 10-d potential evapotranspiration calculated by the FAO Penman–Monteith method and estimated as a fraction of Class A pan evaporation, 1998–2001. **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (two-tailed); Pearson correlation coefficient is 0.88.
