Detailed explanation-1: -Q7 The depth of moisture in root zone at field capacity and permanent wilting point per m depth of soil are 0.5 m/m and 0.2 m/m respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -Available water holding capacity (AWC) It is the water held between field capacity and permanent wilting point. The total available water in the soil root zone for a specific crop is equal to the crop’s rooting depth multiplied by the available water-holding capacity per unit depth of the soil.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adjusted RAW = 60mm/m x 0.8 = 48mm/m. Hence, for a rooting depth of 0.3m: Total root zone RAW = 48mm/m x 0.3m = 14.4mm. If your irrigation system wets the entire cropped area, use this figure (RAW mm) to schedule irrigations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Example-2.1 Depth of water in root zone at field capacity and permanent wilting point are 0.5 m per metre depth of soil and 0.2 m per metre depth of soil.
