Abstract
2
The sustainable management of water resources plays a key role in Mediterranean viticulture, characterized by scarcity and competition of available water. This study focuses on estimating the evapotranspiration and crop coefficients of table grapes vineyards trained on overhead “tendone” systems in the Apulia region (Italy). Maximum vineyard transpiration was estimated by adopting the “direct” methodology for ETp proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization in Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 56, with crop parameters estimated from Landsat 8 and RapidEye satellite data in combination with ground-based meteorological data. The modeling results of two growing seasons (2013 and 2014) indicated that canopy growth, seasonal and 10-day sums evapotranspiration values were strictly related to thermal requirements and rainfall events. The estimated values of mean seasonal daily evapotranspiration ranged between 4.2 and 4.1 mm·d−1, while midseason estimated values of crop coefficients ranged from 0.88 to 0.93 in 2013, and 1.02 to 1.04 in 2014, respectively. The experimental evapotranspiration values calculated represent the maximum value in absence of stress, so the resulting crop coefficients should be used with some caution. It is concluded that the retrieval of crop parameters and evapotranspiration derived from remotely-sensed data could be helpful for downscaling to the field the local weather conditions and agronomic practices and thus may be the basis for supporting grape growers and irrigation managers.

1. Summary 4. CLAIR model Calibration This study focuses on estimating the evapotranspiration and crop coefficients of grapes in overhead pergola by using Landsat 8 and RapidEye satellite data in combination with agrometeorological data, field measurements and by adopting the FAO-56 approach.
2. Data
Figure 1. The study was carried out in Capitanata, Apulia region (Italy). Field estimates of LAI (N=38) were collected using an indirect method (LAI-2000). Images of Landsat 8 (N=11) and RapidEye (N=10) satellite sensor data, were acquired during the growing season for the years 2013 & 2014.
LAI is determined according to:
𝐿𝐴𝐼 = −1
𝛼∗𝑙𝑛 1 −
𝑊𝐷𝑉𝐼
𝑊𝐷𝑉𝐼∞
where α∗ is an extinction & scattering coefficient and 𝑊𝐷𝑉𝐼∞ is the asymptotically limiting value for the WDVI. The final value of α∗=0.39 was taken in correspondence of the minimum error between observed and estimated LAI, leading to an average error of 25% in the estimation of the LAI. To quantify the model prediction accuracies we used the following statistical measures: root mean square error (RMSE= 0.33 𝑚2 ∙ 𝑚−2) and the coefficient of determination (𝑅2 = 0.71) between measured and predicted LAI. Hereinafter, we refer to LAI as the estimated values from RapidEye images
3. FAO-56 PM model This method calculates the maximum evapotranspiration of 𝐸𝑇𝑝 of a canopy under stardard conditions by using
values of canopy variables such as the surface albedo and the Leaf Area Index (LAI). The 𝐸𝑇0, calculated from the agrometeorological variables by using FAO-56, is used to calculate the value of Kc (according to the analytical method). FAO-56 is applied twice, once with standard values of albedo, LAI and crop height for a reference surface, and once by using the albedo, LAI and crop height (this latter is fixed for tree crops) from satellite images (D’Urso and Menenti, 1995).
