Question

Why should we water our plants at dusk or early in the morning?

• A. Plants absorb more water during these times.
• B. Flower blooms during these times.
• C. More evaporation occurs during these times.
• D. Less evaporation occurs during these times.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Less evaporation occurs during these times.

We should water our plants early in the morning or at dusk because evaporation is less during these times. Evaporation is dependent on temperature. When the temperature is low, evaporation will also be less and when the temperature is high, evaporation will also be more.
At dusk or early in the morning are the best times to water plants because evaporation will be less due to low temperature and hence, the plants will be able to utilise the water better.
