ET50 Calculator calculator can be used to estimate the heat stress on plants by combining temperature and humidity data.
Learn how to use the ET50 Calculator calculator and its working principles
ET50 is a measure used in agriculture to estimate the heat stress on plants. It combines temperature and humidity data to give a single value representing the stress level. A higher ET50 value indicates greater heat stress on plants.
The formula used to calculate ET50 is based on empirical studies and takes into account the combined effects of temperature and humidity on plant stress. The formula is:
ET50 = 1.98 * (T - 14.5) - 0.55 * (100 - RH) - 0.03 * (T - 14.5) * (100 - RH) + 0.336 * (T - 14.5)² - 0.016 * (T - 14.5) * (100 - RH)²
