Crop transpiration is directly related to its production. Plant transpiration varies along the crop cycle and in most part of this cycle is the dominant component in evapotranspiration. There are several well-established techniques to estimate these components individually. Currently, the eddy covariance technique is widely used for measurements of evapotranspiration. However, this technique is unable to identify the flow of water between the surface and the atmosphere has its origin by evaporation from soil or plant transpiration. A new methodology based on the efficiency of water use by the plant is being used successfully. This technique determines how much water is transpired to each carbon molecule attached to the plant. This efficiency ratio is obtained by the difference of external and internal concentration on stomatal cavity of CO2 and H2O. In practice, external concentration of carbon and water is obtained from the infra-red gas analyzers used to obtain data in eddy covariance technique. In this work, the evapotranspiration for a maize crop in southern Brazil is partitioned and compared to the surface model AGRO-IBIS. Results show that the maximum development of the plant transpiration is approximately 70% of evapotranspiration.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
