Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A researcher finds that the root zone has a Field Capacity of 35% and a Permanent Wilting Point of 20%. Calculate the Available Water and discuss its significance for a crop with a rooting depth of 0.8m.

💡 Hint: Make sure to use the formula for AW and consider rooting depth.

Question 2

If you increase soil compaction, how would that affect the infiltration rate and subsequently the root zone water availability? Provide a detailed explanation.

💡 Hint: Connect the concepts of soil texture, infiltration, and root activity.
