A relook into plant wilting: observational evidence based on unsaturated soil–plant-photosynthesis interaction

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Permanent wilting point (PWP) is generally used to ascertain plant resistance against abiotic drought stress and designated as the soil water content (θ) corresponding to soil suction (ψ) at 1500 kPa obtained from the soil water retention curve ...

Soil pedostructure-based method for calculating the soil-water holding properties [PDF]

open access: yesMethodsX, 2018
Soil aggregates structure (pedostructure) plays a pivotal role in regulating water and nutrient circulation, and consequently defines soil health, productivity, and water use efficiency.

Assessment of the SOILWAT model for predicting soil hydro-physical characteristics in three agro-ecological zones in Nigeria

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2018
Soil hydro-physical characteristics influence soil nutrients availability and consequently affect crop performance. However, field determination of these properties for effective management of water for irrigation is laborious, time consuming and ...

Evaluating Traditional and Modern Laboratory Techniques for Determining Permanent Wilting Point [PDF]

open access: yesKansas 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).

Comparison of the physical properties of soils belonging to different reference soil groups

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2021
Soil properties can be influenced by long-term agricultural management practices as described in pedological literature. In this study, selected physical properties (particle density and bulk density, total porosity, maximum capillary water capacity ...

RETENTION CURVES AND AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY IN LATOSOLS [PDF]

open access: yesEngenharia 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.

Pedotransfer functions for predicting soil-water retention under Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2022
The objective of this work was to determine pedotransfer functions to predict water retention at the -33 and -1500 kPa matric potentials of soils under Cerrado, in the south of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Global maps of soil water-retention parameters (field capacity and permanent wilting point) at different soil depths

open access: yes, 2021
Global maps (at the 10 km resolution) of field capacity and permanent wilting point at different soil depths (i.e., 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm, and 100-200 cm) derived from the two ensemble models (i.e., the hierarchical multi-model ...
