Upload NowThis 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. […]

Calculation of Soil Moisture (With Example)
Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the calculation of soil moisture. The soil moisture calculations in percentages on a weight basis have been commonly used, but this does not give a true picture of soil-moisture relationships. Two soils may have similar moisture content on a weight basis but not on a volume basis. […]
Movement of Water in Soil: 3 Types
Article shared by :
This article throws light upon the three main types of movement of water in soil. The types are: 1. Saturated Flow 2. Unsaturated Flow 3. Water Vapour Movement. Type # 1. Saturated Flow: Water moves because of water potential gradients in the soil caused mostly by gravity, salt content and water usage and the direction […]
