Soil water is classified into Gravitational Water and Capillary Water, with Capillary Water found in micro pores and capillary tubes. Field Capacity, Permanent Wilting Point, and Hygroscopic Capacity are essential concepts related to soil water content, essential for plant growth and agriculture.
Insights
- Capillary Water in soil is located in Capillary Tubes and Micro Pores, offering plants a source of water at a potential of -0.33 m 31 bar, crucial for their growth and sustenance.
- Understanding the concepts of Field Capacity and Permanent Wilting Point is essential for assessing soil water availability for plants, with Field Capacity providing 100% of water accessible to plants and Permanent Wilting Point marking the limit where plants can no longer absorb water, crucial for effective agricultural practices.
