An equation describing effects of soil texture and evaporativity on evaporation parameter, to be used in square root of time relation for estimating cumulc1tive evaporation (CE) from soil was developed. The i!stimated CE involving the evaporation parameter computed from the equation matched with the CE data observed by different workers for varying soil texture and evaporativity.
