•Combining four different methods to evaluate wheat ET partitioning.•New methodology for quantifying the uncertainties in ET partitioning measurements.•The partitioning ratio (T/ET) is evaluated within 19–24% error with all methods.•Variation of daily T/ET ratio is well correlated with surface soil...
