A study was conducted on the behaviour of evaporation, evapotranspiration and potential evapotranspiration in different phenological phases, during the years 1989, 1990 and 1991 for Kharif Maize crop at Anand (Gujarat). It has been noticed that evapotranspiration and potential evapotranspiration attained maximum values in grain phase. In harvesting phase relative evapotranspiration and crop coefficient had lowest values. The seasonal crop coefficient was obtained 0.84. An attempt has been made in this paper to develop the regression models to estimate potential evapotranspiration and relative evapotranspiration.
