Many problems of management of irrigated soils require a knowledge of the soil moisture status and its relationship to plant growth before they can be solved.
The amount of water in the soil as indicated by moisture content gives no reliable information of its availability for plant growth. It is therefore desirable to obtain a direct measurement of the readiness with which soil water can be obtained by the plant
the "field capacity" and the "wilting percentage" have been helpful in estimating the amount of soil water that can be used by plants.
Soil sampling has been used extensively to …
