Question

The evapotranspiration rate is higher in light green vegetation than in dark green vegetation.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during an internship interview.

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

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) False

For explanation I would say: The production of the rate of absorption of solar energy is high in dark green vegetation hence; its evapotranspiration rate will be higher than that of light green vegetation. The plant diseases causing yellowing of the leaves of the plants greatly reduce evapotranspiration.
