Q1.18. Human agriculture is one of the biggest users of fresh water on our planet today. If you wanted to minimize the use of water on a farm field, how could you make a crude calculation of the amount of water to use (the irrigation rate)?
A )Calculate the PET for the day and irrigate with exactly that much water.
B) Calculate the PET for the day, subtract recent rainfall, and irrigate with the difference between those.
C) Measure the temperature, multiply by 2, and irrigate with exactly that much water (in mm).
D) Figure out the specific PET for your crop and irrigate with exactly that much water.
Q1.19. A species' physiological tolerances determines which of the following?
