Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A researcher established a lysimeter to study cotton crops. The weight before watering was 100 kg, and after a week, it is measured at 90 kg. What is the total water loss in this case?

💡 Hint: Use the change in weight to calculate water loss.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where a crop coefficient for wheat is established at 0.8. If the reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) is 50 mm, how much water should be applied to match the crop's needs?

💡 Hint: Multiply the crop coefficient by the reference ET.
