Question 1

What does hysteresis indicate?

  • Changes in soil texture
  • Differences in retention during drying and wetting
  • Increased porosity

💡 Hint: Focus on the behavior differences when soil dries or becomes wet.

Question 2

True or False: Air entrapment can improve water retention in soil.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how air affects the movement of water.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a soil sample that shows distinct hysteresis when wetting and drying. How would you go about determining the best irrigation strategy in light of these findings?

💡 Hint: Review the concepts of water availability throughout the growing season.

Question 2

A study describes that soils with high hysteresis lead to inefficient water usage in agriculture. Propose a solution to mitigate this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about methods that apply water more efficiently to prevent excess runoff.
