Popis: The energy balance technique along with heat transfer theory for flat plates was used to develop a computer model to simulate the dew duration (DD) on a single leaf. The DD was inferred from a computation of the latent heat flux. Microclimatic data obtained in an apple orchard and in corn and soybean crops were used to verify the model. Estimates of DD were attempted for exposed and shaded leaves. On the average, the dew duration estimates were within 30 min of observed DD for exposed leaves and within 60 min for shaded leaves.
