e) All of the above
A farmer growing maize in Eastern Cape under rainfed and marginal soils approaches you and tell you that maize is no longer doing well under his farm. Some of the soil characteristic in his farm include waterlogging, high pH and low water holding capacity. Advise the farmer on why you believe grain sorghum will do well under his farm conditions.

He claims to always apply the same amount of fertilizer to the plants but he suspects the difference in crop yield may have something to do with the amount of water the crops receive. The farmer has observed that the soybeans on his farm usually receive between 0 to 0.5 inches of water per day, but he is unsure of the optimal amount of water with which to irrigate. Question: state a research question that will directly address the farmer’s problem.arrow_forward

A deep-rooted plant can send water to dry soil patches with lower water potential O while simultaneously absorbing water from deep soil layers with higher water potential. The plant has higher water potential than the wet soil patches, but lower water potential than the dry soil patches. The plant has lower water potential than the wet soil patches, but relatively higher water potential than the dry soil patches.arrow_forwardExplain what’s the big deal about fertilizer entering water bodies?
