4.Water requirements calculation to crops

Question

Accepted Answer

Water requirements for crops can be calculated based on various factors such as crop type, soil type, weather conditions, and irrigation system.

Water requirements can be calculated using crop coefficients, which are determined based on the crop type and growth stage.
Soil type and texture can affect water holding capacity and drainage, which can impact water requirements.
Weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation can impact crop water use.
Irrigation system type and efficiency can also impact water requirements.
Tools such as evapotranspiration models and soil moisture sensors can aid in calculating water requirements.
Examples of crops with high water requirements include rice, sugarcane, and cotton.
Water requirements can also vary based on the growth stage of the crop.
