Question

The ratio of the amount of water stored in the root zone of plants to the amount of irrigation water delivered to the field is known as:

A.

Water use efficiency

B.

Water application efficiency

C.

Water storage efficiency

D.

Water distribution efficiency

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (B) Water application efficiency
Explanation
Water application efficiency refers to the percentage of irrigation water that is stored in the root zone of plants compared to the total water delivered to the field. It shows how effectively the applied water is being utilized by the crops.
It is calculated using the formula:
Water Application Efficiency (%) = (Water stored in root zone / Water delivered to field) × 100.

Information Booster:

  • Water use efficiency: This is the ratio of crop yield to the amount of water used (either irrigation or total water).

  • Water storage efficiency: It measures how well the water available in the root zone meets the crop's needs after irrigation.

  • Water distribution efficiency: This measures how uniformly water is distributed over the field.
