Resumen

In areas with scarce water resources, the management of water is essential for achievingan economically sustainable agriculture. Among the technologies available, lysimeters areone of the most reliable to determine crop evapotranspiration and improve irrigationefficiency. This communication shows four prototypes of weighing lysimeters designed asmodular systems of small dimensions for its assembly in horticultural plantations. In thevarious prototypes, modifications have been introduced to facilitate their installation andmaintenance, improving their performance and achieving a transportable prototype foreasy assembly
