After how many days will you supply water to soil in order to ensure efficient irrigation of the given crop, if

(i) Field Capacity of soil = 27%

(ii) Permanent wilting point = 14%

(iii) Dry density of soil = 15 kN/m3

(iv) Effective depth of root zone = 75 cm

5) Daily consumptive use of water for given crop = 11 mm ...this data is missing in the question

Available moisture = Field capacity - permanent wilting point

= 27-14=13%

Let the readily available moisture be 80% of the available moisture

Readily available moisture= 13 x 0.8 = 10.4%

Maximum level upto which soil moisture may be allowed to be depleted (mo) = 27- 10.4

= 16.6%

Depth of …
