Table 1: Summary of environmental conditions during the three days before sampling [20 to 22 July; 64 to 66 days after planting (DAP) in 2018 and 81 to 83 DAP in 2019] and during the two days sampling occurred (23 to 24 July; 67 and 68 DAP in 2018 and 84 and 85 DAP in 2019) for the 2018 and 2019 rice growing seasons. Values for air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, and solar radiation are daily averages, while values for rainfall and evapotranspiration (ET) are daily sums.
