EXERCISE 16 (Continued) 

 Rise of Water at Different Periods 



(45) 



QUESTIONS 



In what soil does the water rise the fastest? The highest? 



Can you determine upon what factors the capillary rise of water depends? 

 Give several. 



Would a moist condition of the soil affect the total rise? Would it 

 affect the rate? 



Does capillary movement of water take place laterally? In a test of differ- 

 ent fertilizers on field plots side by side, what effect would this have? 



What does this experiment teach you concerning soil management and 

 plant growth?
