👉 Evapotranspiration is a process in plants that occurs when water evaporates from the soil and remains in the plant's leaves. It is crucial for maintaining water balance in agricultural systems, as it helps to prevent over-watering and nutrient loss. This process can be divided into two main stages: transpiration and evaporation. The first stage involves the transfer of water from the soil to the roots through the stomata (small openings on the leaves) where water is absorbed by the plant. This
