Question
1. Compute the net irrigation required for a soil with the total available soil water capacity of 0.152
(volume basis) over a rooting depth of 1.0 m and for a soil moisture depletion factor of 0.5. The dry bulk
density of the soil is 1.32 g/cm3.
2. Soil samples were taken at different locations from a 0.4 ha farm using the core samplers (10 cm
diameter x 5 cm length) about 48 hours after a rainfall event. The following measurements were made
before and after oven drying the samples:
