This article throws light upon the two processes by which water is lost from soil. The processes are: 1. Percolation Losses 2. Evapotranspiration. Process # 1. Percolation: The losses of soil water through percolation are maximum under humid climate where precipitation is high. Different essential plant nutrients are lost from soils through such percolating water. […]
