Agricultural Engineering > GATE 2013 > Irrigation Efficiency
A 10 ha field has 1.2 m deep layer of sandy loam soil underlain by sandy soil up to a depth of 5 m. A pre-irrigation rainfall brings moisture content of the top 0.3 m layer to its field capacity. The moisture content of rest of the sandy loam layer remains at permanent wilting point. The volumetric moisture content at field capacity and permanent wilting point are 32 and 16%, respectively for the sandy loam soil. The field is irrigated with a stream size of 240 L s^{-1} for 24 hours. Considering the drainage from the sandy loam soil as deep percolation, application efficiency and deep percolation ratio in percent respectively are
A
56.40 and 43.60
B
69.44 and 30.56
C
75.18 and 24.82
D
92.60 and 7.40

Correct : b
