How can I find the evapotranspirtaion rate, ETo, for various plants in various regions, and can this be found on LEEDuser's website?

there were no references indicated
"Evapotranspiration (ET) rates vary greatly regionally and seasonally. There is no comprehensive single reference point for national ET data. "

This website will rock your world: http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/WAtlas/
If you enter in the project latitude and longitude-easily taken from Google Earth--it will give you the ETo for pretty much anywhere on earth.

A note of caution: I just checked the online model from the website above for a few locations in Morocco, and the data on precipitation and temperatures is significantly off. I'd make sure the rest of the data (precipitation, temperatures etc.) checks out before I used the ETo values proposed by the model.

Daniel is correct in his caution. The website does not contain long-term averages & is based on the last year of actual data only & is intended for real-time agriculture use.
Sorry for the bum steer.
