Question

The value of consumptive use may be different for different crops and different for the same crop at different times and places.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Water Requirements of Crops topic in chapter Water Requirements of Crops of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Consumptive use is defined as the total amount of water used by the plants in transpiration and evaporation from soils, in specific time. So, therefore the values of consumptive use vary for different crops, and vary for same crops at different places or times.
