STUDY OF FIELD CAPACITY AND PERMANENT WILTING POINT
Keywords:
Field capacity, Permanent wilting point, Plant available water.Abstract
Soil holds different amounts of water based on its texture. The focus of this project lies in finding field capacity and permanent wilting point. The upper limit of water available in the field is called field capacity and the lower limit is called permanent wilting point. To determine plant available moisture storage capacity, these terms are of utmost importance. They play a key role in determining the irrigation practices required for soil with respect to varying properties.
