For a maize crop at peak vegetative stage, the crop coefficient is $K_c = 1.10$. If the reference crop evapotranspiration is $ET_0 = 6.0\text{ mm/day}$, the crop evapotranspiration $ET_c$ (in mm/day) is:

Answer Key:

6.6

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Crop evapotranspiration: $ET_c = K_c \times ET_0 = 1.10 \times 6.0 = 6.60\text{ mm/day}$
