Question

A balance between the inputs and outputs of water to and from the plant root zone is called:

• A. Water budgeting
• B. Water use efficiency
• C. Irrigation uniformity
• D. Seasonal irrigation

Hint:

Water budgeting means accounting of water inputs and outputs in the crop root zone.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Water budgeting is the accounting of water inputs and outputs in a soil-plant system.

Step 1: Identify water inputs.
Water inputs may include: \[ \text{Rainfall} \] \[ \text{Irrigation} \]

Step 2: Identify water outputs.
Water outputs may include: \[ \text{Evaporation} \] \[ \text{Transpiration} \] \[ \text{Runoff} \] \[ \text{Percolation} \]

Step 3: Define the balance.
The balance between water input and water output in the root zone is called water budgeting. \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (A)} \]
