What is field capacity?
It is the moisture available in soil after the 4 to 5 days of the irrigation to the cropped field at 1/3 of atm.
What happens when soil block the flow of water though soil?
The soil is at "field capacity". In other words the capillary spaces are already full of water to the surface, hence no more water can be absorbed.
What is a soil compaction test?
Bearing capacity of soil
Which factors affect buffering capacity of soil?
mineralogy, soil organic matter, soil texture, type of clay, cation exchange capacity, base saturation
What type of soil has maximum water holding capacity?
