12. In areas with high evaporation rates and sandy soils, which adjustment to the depth of water applied during irrigation is typically necessary?

1. Increase the depth of water applied
2. Decrease the depth of water applied
3. Apply water more frequently but at the same depth
4. Maintain the same depth regardless of conditions

Answer

The correct answer is: A) Increase the depth of water applied
