The moisture content of rest of the sandy loam layer remains at permanent wilting point. The volumetric moisture content at field capacity and permanent wilting point are 32 and 16%, respectively for the sandy loam soil. The field is irrigated with a stream size of 240 L s^-1 for 24 hours. Considering the drainage from the sandy loam soil as deep percolation, application efficiency and deep percolation ratio in percent respectively are
