    Soil - Plant - Water Relationship: Practice Exercise No. 4b

    Uploaded by

    Alexis Lopez
    This document contains practice exercises on soil-plant-water relationships. It introduces topics on these relationships and provides three problems for students to solve. The first problem asks students to calculate bulk density, moisture percentage, and water amount using given soil sample weights. The second problem asks students to calculate readily available moisture using given field capacity, permanent wilting point, and bulk density values. The third problem provides soil sample weights and asks students to calculate bulk density and apparent specific gravity. Students are expected to show their work and solutions.

    SOIL - PLANT – WATER RELATIONSHIP

    INTRODUCTION:

    This chapter introduces topics on the soil – plant – water relationship. The main purpose is to
    convey concepts in a visual and practical manner, while simultaneously providing students with a
    detailed
    background in the different soil properties. It also familiarizes students on soil moisture determination.
    Discussions in this chapter includes problems solving on soil – plant – water relationship.

    At the end of this chapter, students are expected to solve problems on different soil properties
    and soil moisture determination.

    TASK:

    Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

    1. The volume of the soil sample during sampling was 85 cc and weight after drying in the
    area was 130g. Find the bulk density, the percentage of moisture by weight in if the
    weight of the sample before drying was 145 g and the amount of water in the soil layer
    of thickness 10 cm.

    2.
    The

    soil has a field capacity and permanent wilting point of 27% and 13%, respectively.

    What is the readily available moisture in cm of water per cm of soil if the bulk density is
    1.25 g/cc?

    3. An undisturbed soil sample 100 cc was gathered from a field 2 days after heavy rains
    when the soil moisture was expected to be at field capacity. The weight of the fresh
    sample was 176 g but was reduced to 142 g after oven drying. A second soil sample
    with a fresh weight and oven dried weight of 130 g and 116 g, respectively, was
    gathered 3 weeks later when the crop was observed to have a permanently wilted. Find
    the bulk density and apparent specific gravity.
