RETENTION CURVES AND AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY IN LATOSOLS [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2018 Water stored in the soil between field capacity and the permanent wilting point, is known as the available water capacity. Its availability to be effectively used by plants depends on the type of soil and its water retention characteristics.

Evaluating Traditional and Modern Laboratory Techniques for Determining Permanent Wilting Point
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2021 The permanent wilting point is often considered the lower limit for plant available water and can be measured in the laboratory using a pressure plate apparatus (traditional method) or a dewpoint water potential meter (modern method).
