Deployment of Eddy Covariance System to Quantify Actual Crop Evapotranspiration of Summer Cover Crop Sesbania and Subsequent Crops under Desert Conditions at Yuma Agricultural Center

Cover crops such as Sesbania (Sesbania punicea) are adopted for their benefits in nitrogen fixation, soil organic matter enhancement, and weed suppression. However, empirical data quantifying the actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc) of Sesbania under desert conditions are limited.
