Question

    Irrigation water quality is evaluated based

    upon
    A Total salt content, sodium and specific ion toxicities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B pH of the water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Acidity of the water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ca content of the water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The salt content of irrigation water is an important parameter to consider as excessive salts can accumulate in the soil and affect plant growth. High sodium levels in water can lead to soil degradation and reduced soil permeability. Specific ion toxicities, such as high levels of chloride or boron, can also be harmful to plants.
