Crop evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements. The impact of climate change on maximum and effective crop evapotranspiration as well as on net irrigation requirements, also considering the relative effect of selected adaptation strategies (planting dates, variety selection and deficit irrigation strategies), is summarized in the following tables and graphs. In brief, the following observations are reported: ‐ maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is projected to reduce for the current variety under “future” (2050) scenario as a consequence of the expected shortening of the crop growing cycle, on average of about ‐4.6% with respect to current conditions (2000) (fig. 36 and tab. 48); ‐ on the contrary, if a late maturing variety (2050 late_var) is selected, maximum evapotranspiration is projected to increase (+7.6%) for all the planting dates (fig. 36 and tab. 48); ‐ the relative effect of the projected variation of rainfall patterns (‐13.6%) seems to be slightly important the crop water balance, due to their very low values in absolute terms (tab.49); ‐ maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is observed always to increase (in absolute terms) for late (February) planting date with respect to earlier (October) ones, because of the shifting of most of the cycle towards the spring‐summer season (fig. 36 and tab. 48); ‐ effective seasonal crop evapotranspiration and net irrigation requirements are both highly dependent on the irrigation strategy, progressively reducing going from full irrigation to rainfed conditions (fig. 36 and tab.50‐51); ‐ as for ETc_max, also the ETc_eff and NIR are projected to decrease in 2050 if the current variety is used, or to increase if a late maturing variety is selected, especially under full irrigated to mild stress conditions (fig. 36 and tab.50‐51); Tab. 48 – Effect of planting date and variety selection on the maximum crop evapotranspiration of wheat in Merguellil catchment (Tunisia) under “present” and “future” climate conditions.

Crop evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements. The impact of climate change on maximum and effective crop evapotranspiration as well as on net irrigation requirements, also considering the relative effect of selected adaptation strategies (planting dates, variety selection and deficit irrigation strategies), is summarized in the following tables and graphs. In brief, the following observations are reported: ‐ maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is projected to reduce increase for the current variety all crop models under “future” (2050) scenario scenario, because of the fixed duration of cycle length and probably as a consequence of the expected shortening of the crop growing cycleincrease in daily ETo, on average of about ‐4.6+5.0% with respect to current conditions (2000) (fig. 36 28 and tab. 4838); ‐ on if “extreme weather” conditions (2050+1) are considered, the contrary, if a late maturing variety (2050 late_var) is selected, projected maximum evapotranspiration variation is projected to increase slightly higher (+7.6on average of about +5.9%) for all ), but with some differences between the planting dates models (fig. 36 28 and tab. 4838); ‐ the relative effect of the projected variation increase and/or decrease of rainfall patterns (‐13.6%) during the period March‐November), seems to be slightly important for the crop water balance, due to their because of the very low values with respect to crop water needs (tab. 39), with the exception of rainfed conditions (in absolute terms (tab.49which rain is the only source of water); ‐ the higher values of maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is are observed always to increase (in absolute terms) for late (February) planting date with respect to earlier (October) onesthe “new” cropping type, because of the shifting of most of the cycle towards the spring‐summer season under all climate scenarios (fig. 36 28 and tab. 4838); ‐ effective seasonal crop evapotranspiration ETc_eff and net irrigation requirements NIR are both highly dependent on the irrigation strategy, progressively reducing going from full irrigation to rainfed conditions conditions, under all climate scenarios (fig. 36 28 and tab.50‐51tab. 40‐41); ‐ ETc_eff is projected to increase under both 2050 (on average +5.4%) and 2050+1 (+5%) scenarios, for all irrigation strategies with the exception of rainfed conditions (in which an opposite behaviour is projected because of the strong reduction of the rainfall patterns under “extreme weather”); ‐ as for ETc_maxa consequence, also the ETc_eff and NIR are is projected to decrease in increase for all irrigation strategies under both 2050 if the current variety is used, or to increase if a late maturing variety is selected, especially under full irrigated to mild stress conditions (figon average +7.8%) and 2050+1 (+12.3%) scenarios. 36 and tab.50‐51); Tab. 48 38 Effect of planting date and variety selection on the maximum Maximum crop evapotranspiration of wheat as estimated by different Kc models for olive in Merguellil catchment Jordan river basin (TunisiaJordan) under “present”, “future” and “futureextreme weather” climate conditions.

Crop evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements. The impact of climate change on maximum and effective crop evapotranspiration as well as on net irrigation requirements, also considering the relative effect of selected adaptation strategies (planting dates, variety selection and deficit irrigation strategies), is summarized in the following tables and graphs. In brief, the following observations are reported: ‐ maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is projected to reduce for the current variety under “future” (2050) scenario as a consequence of the expected shortening of the crop growing cycle, on average of about ‐4.6‐6.8% with respect to current conditions (2000) (fig. 36 fig.18 and tab. 4825); ‐ on the contrary, if a late maturing variety (2050 late_var) is selected, maximum evapotranspiration is projected to increase slightly (+7.6on average of about +1.3%) for all the planting dates (fig. 36 18 and tab. 4825); ‐ the relative effect of the projected variation of rainfall patterns (‐13.6%) seems to be slightly important irrelevant for the crop water balance, due to because of their very low values in absolute terms (tab.49tab.26); ‐ maximum seasonal crop evapotranspiration is observed always to increase decrease slightly (in absolute terms) for late (FebruaryApril) planting date with respect to earlier (OctoberFebruary) ones, because of the shifting effect of most of higher summer temperatures in reducing the crop growing cycle towards the spring‐summer season (fig. 36 18 and tab. 4825); ‐ effective seasonal crop evapotranspiration and net irrigation requirements are both highly dependent on the irrigation strategy, progressively reducing going from full irrigation to rainfed conditions (fig. 36 18 and tab.50‐51tab.27‐28); ‐ as for ETc_max, also the ETc_eff and NIR are projected to decrease in 2050 if the current variety is used; on the other side, or to increase if a late maturing variety is selected, especially under full irrigated NIR and ETc_eff variations seems to mild stress conditions be very slight, depending somehow on the irrigation strategy considered (fig. 36 18 and tab.50‐51tab.27‐28); Tab. 48 Tab.25 – Effect of planting date and variety selection on the maximum crop evapotranspiration of wheat tomato in Merguellil catchment Jordan river basin (TunisiaJordan) under “present” and “future” climate conditions.
