RESUMO

This work had as objective to determine the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and the crop coefficient (Kc) of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg), during 637 days after the transplant (DAT) of the seedling. The experiment was carried out in the experimental field of Fazenda Areão which belongs to ESALQ/USP, in Piracicaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. The determination of the ETc was made in 4 drainage lysimeters, installed in the center of an area of 0.4 ha cultivated with yellow passion fruit, in the space distance of 3.5 m x 4.0 m, since 05/21/99 (17 DAT). The determination of Kc was accomplished by the evapotranspiration reference (ETo) estimated by Penmam-Monteith Method, considering the weed evapotranspiration in the amount of the crop evapotranspiration (ETcm). In the period between 32 and 91 DAT low values were verified of ETc, due to the low temperature and solar radiation. Through of 91 DAT the values increased and reached the maximum value of 23.37 L d-1 p-1 in the period comprised between 287 and 308 DAT, maximum flowering and fruit set. Considering the total area of the spacing, with weeds occupying the interlineations, this value was of approximately 2.68 mm d-1. It was verified that under irrigation conditions in the total area the evapotranspiration of the weeds of the interlineations should be considered, therefore they can correspond up to 90% of the total evapotranspiration of the area. The total crop evapotranspiration in the first production cycle was of 650 mm in 447 days, with thermal accumulation of 5880 degree day. The average values of Kc increased from 0.24 to 0.89 following the increase of the leaf area, it was observed in function of the projection of the cup that varied from 0.06 to 4 m2. The cycle of the passion fruit showed 6 development phases, with values of Kc 0.3 for the initial development phase, 0.4 for the growth vegetative phase, 0.5 for the lateral vegetative growth phase, 0.9 for the flowering phase, fruit set and maturation of the fruits, 0.8 for the vegetative rest phase and 0.7 for the beginning of the flowering and fruit set of the second production cycle.
