Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the PWP given a soil sample retains 30% water but is at capacity. What implications does this have for irrigation scheduling?

💡 Hint: Consider how much moisture should ideally be present before wilting affects the plants.

Question 2

Discuss the potential ecological impacts in a region where agricultural practices neglect the principles of PWP.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the balance within an ecosystem when water resources are mismanaged.
