Question 1

What is the main purpose of calculating Leaching Requirement (LR)?

  • To enhance crop yield
  • To determine irrigation duration
  • To remove excess salts from soil

💡 Hint: What issue does leaching address?

Question 2

True or False: Higher Electrical Conductivity (EC) indicates lower salinity in soil.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on what electrical conductivity measures.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer tests their irrigation water and finds an EC_{iw} of 2.8 dS/m and the saturation extract has an EC_{e} of 1.1 dS/m. Determine the leaching requirement and discuss the implications for irrigation practices.

💡 Hint: Be sure to calculate carefully and reflect on how this impacts irrigation.

Question 2

If a field is neglected for several seasons regarding leaching, and a farmer notices a significant increase in soil salinity, what steps can they take to rectify the situation using LR?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between leaching requirement and salinity management.
