For formula is
(Yd/Yw)*d*(field capacity-permanent welting point);
Given data:
Yd=1.5,
Yw=1,
Depth zone=80 cm,
Field capacity = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25,
Permanent wilting point = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15,
So, (1.5/1)*80*(0.25-0.15) = 12 cm,
The Correct answer is 12 cm.

For formula is .....(Yd/Yw)*d*(field capacity-permanent welting point).

Given data:-
Yd=1.5, Yw=1,
Depth zone=80 cm,
Field capacity=25%=25/100=0.25,
Permanent wilting point=15%=15/100=0.15,

So, (1.5/1)*80*(0.35-0.15)=12 cm,

Correct answer is 12 cm.

The field capacity and moisture content at the time of irrigation are 27% and 19%. The apparent specific gravity 1.3 and root zone depth 100cm. Determine the time required to irrigate 2ha with a flow of 60 if water loss is 20%.

Can anyone answer this?

@Mariya.

Here, dw means the depth of water zone. i.e., storage capacity of soil.
