Question

Why is it necessary to use water judiciously?

Answer 1

The reasons to use water judiciously are:

1. Water should be utilized sparingly because providing too much water can impair the growth of crop plants.
2. Crop plant seeds will not germinate if there is insufficient water supply.
3. Furthermore, if water is delivered in excess, it will produce water logging and soil salinity, which will eventually cause agricultural plant mortality by reducing soil aeration.
