Postharvest water requirements of peppermint.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita var.) is a perennial field crop that is commonly irrigated following harvest to promote fall regrowth. A field study was conducted to measure the consumptive use of peppermint in the postharvest period and to develop crop coefficients used to predict evapotranspiration rates. The soil water balance was measured on two fields with a neutron probe during an 80 day period from July 29, 1997 to October 17, 1997. Over the 49 days following harvest, a total consumptive use of 96 mm was measured. Average basal crop coefficients increased from approximately zero to 0.36 within 35 days following harvest.
