C) The following data were obtained in determining the soil moisture content at successive depth
in the root zone prior to applying irrigation water:
The bulk density of the soil in the root zone was 1.50gmcc. The available moisture holding
capacity of the soil was 17.8cmm depth. Determine (i) the moisture content at the different
depths in the root zone, (ii) moisture content in the root zone at the time of irrigation, (iii) net
depth of water to be applied to bring the moisture content to field capacity, and (iv) gross
irrigation requirement at an estimated field irrigation efficiency of 70%.
C ) The following data were obtained in
