| Summary: | One of the challenges in the development of an urban agricultural system is the
existence of competition between plant water needs and human water needs. Modeling
of water requirements or evapotranspiration (ETc) is required for efficient water use in
urban agricultural systems. This study aims to determine the model of ETc at different
light intensities. The method used is the measurement of actual ETc and ETc Penman-
Monteith on the capillary wick irrigation system stored in an unshaded (T1) and shaded
(T2) place. Red spinach was used as a model plant. Based on the study, it was found
that the actual ETc accumulation value of plants under shaded conditions was 1.42
times greater than the Penman-Monteith ETc with quality R2 = 0.99. The accumulated
value of the actual ETc of shaded plants was 1.81 times greater than the Penman-
Monteith ETc with quality R2 = 0.99. Modelling of the effect of actual water needs on
height at T1 and T2 both has R2 = 0.99. Modeling of the effect of water needs on the
number of leaves on T1 plants had R2 = 0.98 and T2 plants had R2 = 0.99. The
difference in light intensity had a significant effect on high growth, number of leaves,
wet weight and dry weight (roots, stems, leaves).
