Field capacity is a parameter of undeniable importance for an adequate irrigation management. From the reliable determination of soil water content and field capacity, crop yields cam be optimized, maximizing the plant water use efficiency and preventing groundwater contamination by leaching of fertilizers and agrochemicals. The objective of this study was to evaluate field capacity (a) from the calculation of soil water flux density during water redistribution in a classical experiment to determine this parameter and (b) from a given […]
