The document discusses various factors influencing the water requirements of plants, categorizing them based on their growth conditions and characteristics. It highlights the importance of crop nature, soil type, climatic conditions, irrigation methods, and pest impacts in determining water demand. Additionally, it distinguishes between different types of plants, including those requiring more or less water, and their environmental needs.

1. Watering on Demand
Plants requiring more water Plants requiring less water
– Flowering plants
– Plants potted in clay pots
– Plants grown in small pots
– Actively growing plants
– Plants located in direct sunlight
– Large-leaved or thin-leaved plants
– Plants that are native to wet areas.
– Resting or dormant plants
– Recently repotted plant
– Plants grown in high humidity
– A plant located in a cool room
– Plants potted in non-porous containers
– Plants with thick or rubbery leaves
– Plants grown in a water retentive mix
Some of the most important factors affecting the demand of water for crops are as follows:
1. Nature of Crops
2. Nature of Soil
3. Effect of Climatic Factors
4. Effect of Nature of Irrigation
5. Attack of Pests and Diseases.
