A 1-hectare field contains 2500 bean plants having a total leaf surface area of 557 m2. ambient temperature is 21°c, winds are calm, and humidity is 45%. if each plant is transpiring at the average rate determined for treatment a in 6 above, how much water is lost from the field each hour due to transpiration? show your calculation in the space below. _____________________________________________

Answer:

The field losses a total of 55.814 litres of water in an hour.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here, the average rate of water loss is not given here which is found in normal conditions as 1.67 mL/m2.

Now the average rate of water loss per minute is 1.67 mL/m2

So the average rate of water loss per minute for 557 m2 is 1.67*557=930.19 mL

So 930.19 mL of water is lost from the field in 1 minute, for the calculation of water lost in an hour, the value is given as  60*930.19 =55811.4 mL or 55.814 litres.
