Question:easy
If a soil has 10% less moisture than its field capacity, what will be depth of irrigation required to bring soil moisture level to field capacity for a soil having depth 0.4 m and bulk density 1.2 mega gram/\(\text{m}^3\)
If a soil has 10% less moisture than its field capacity, what will be depth of irrigation required to bring soil moisture level to field capacity for a soil having depth 0.4 m and bulk density 1.2 mega gram/\(\text{m}^3\)
Show Hint
Always keep track of units. Representing soil depth directly in centimeters (\(\text{cm}\)) and using bulk density in \(\text{g/cm}^3\) ensures the calculated irrigation water depth is directly in centimeters.
