The following article will guide you about how to measure soil moisture by obtaining direct and indirect methods. Soil moisture content is, normally, given as a dimensionless ratio of two masses or two volumes. When soil moisture content, given as dimensionless ratio, is multiplied by 100, the value becomes a percentage on mass or volume […]

In this article we will discuss about the characteristics of soil moisture. Soil moisture tension does not indicate neither the moisture content of soil nor the amount of moisture that can be withdrawn for plant use at any particular tension. Knowledge of the amount of moisture a given soil holds at various tensions is necessary […]

Quantitative interrelationships of solid, liquid and air components of soil (Fig 4.1) are defined in terms of many useful parameters of soil. Density of individual soil particles and of bulk is reported in relation to density of water, which is 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter (1.0 g cm-3). Solid rock particles that go to form […]
