Abstract:
      In order to provide a scientific theoretical basis for reasonable irrigation of cotton in Tarim irrigation area, and based on soil moisture, precipitation, irrigation and other data observed at Aksu National Field Research Station of Agro-ecosystem in Xinjiang, evapotranspiration is calculated by using water balance method, evaporation is monitored by using self-made Micro-lysimeters, and the changing law and affecting factors are analyzed. The results show that the in-tensity of cotton evapotranspiration and evaporation increases gradually in seedling, squaring, flowering and bolling stages, reaching its maximum in flowering and bolling stages, and then decreases gradually in boling opening and har-vesting stages. The ratio of evaporation to evapotranspiration of cotton decreases gradually in seeding, squaring and flow-ering and bolling stages, reaching its minimum in flowering and bolling stages,then increases gradually in boll opening and harvesting stages. All through these stages, the ratio of evaporation to evapotranspiration is about 16.49%. The relative evaporation intensity of cotton shows close relation to surface soil moisture, and it increases with the surface soil moisture.
