Concept:

Consumptive use of water by a crop is the depth of water consumed by the plant in the process of transpiration and evaporation, during crop growth.

These two processes (i.e. transpiration and evaporation) collectively termed as evapo-transpiration.

Consumptive use of water by a crop is expressed as the depth of water per unit area for specified period, such as days, months or seasons. The value of consumptive use of water is needed to calculate the irrigation requirement of the crop
