Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soil and crop management practices, such as mulching, tillage, irrigation, and fertilization, can directly affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil, which in turn influences evaporation from the soil surface. While these practices can indirectly affect transpiration by influencing plant growth and water uptake, they generally have a greater impact on evaporation.
