Q287

Field water used efficiency is calculated by

A.
WUE =
B.
WUE =
Answer
C.
WUE =
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The field water use efficiency (WUE) is the ratio between the dry matter production of a plant (the output) divided by evapotranspiration. Thus the equation for WUE is:
WUE =
Y = Dry matter production (Kilogram/hectare)
ET = Evapotranspiration (in mm)
