During a particular stage of the growth of a crop, the consumptive use of water is 2.8 mm/day. The amount of water available in the soil is 50 % of the maximum depth of available water in the root zone. Consider the maximum root zone depth of the crop as 80 mm and the irrigation efficiency as 70 %. The interval between irrigation (in days) will be (round off to the nearest integer)

Irrigation water is to be provided to a crop in a field to bring the moisture content of the soil from the existing 18% to the field capacity of the soil at 28%. The effective root zone of the crop is 70 cm. If the densities of the soil and water are 1.3 g/cm³ and 1.0g/cm³ respectively, the depth of irrigation water (in mm) required for irrigating the crop is
The moisture content of a soil is to be increased up to the field capacity of 28% from 21% through irrigation of the field. Determine the depth of water to be irrigated (in mm) if the effective root zone is at a depth of 70 cm. Take density of soil as 1.3 g/cm3 and that of water as 1.0 g/cm3.
10. A recently irrigated field has an day 1 the total available soil moisture at the maximum value of 10 cm. If the reference crop evapotranspiration is 5.0 mm/day. The actual (ET) on day 1 will be, if soil water depletion factor (p = 0.20) and crop factor (k)= 0.90, equal to mm/day.
Following data are given: 1. Available moisture holding capacity of soil-12.5cm/m depth of soil 2. Root zone depth of crop=0.8m 3. Consumptive use=5mm/day If moisture depletion is allowed to 50% of available moisture then the frequency of irrigation will be ___days.
