Resumo:
The objective of this research was to compare the simulated
evapotranspiration deficit values by normal and triangular functions, in maize crop, for
periods of 7, 15 and 30 days without rain, in Piracicaba region, on march and july. The
differences on simulated evapotranspiration deficits by two functions, although significants,
was small, with averages less than 10% on march and 5% on july.
