Why is the ET Manager the New Standard?
Real ET
Measure Rainfall
Best Water Management
Evaporation of water from the soil or plants surfaces and transpired from leaves.
It is typically measured in inches
Weather conditions affect ET: Solar radiation Temperature Wind Humidity
Evapotranspiration (ET)
