Independent Measurement of Matric and Osmotic Potential of Soil Water
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1969Abstract A technique is described that uses the operating principles of the thermocouple psychrometer and the porous plate apparatus to measure the matric and osmotic potentials of soil water without extraction of a significant amount of soil solution.

Computerized equipment to control soil temperature and soil water matric potential, at high soil hydric conditions was developed and evaluated. A series of experiments demonstrated the accuracy and reproducibility of the equipment's performance and its adequacy for the assessment of the inoculum potential of soil-borne pathogens in soils with different

Matric potential and the survival and activity of a Pseudomonas fluorescens inoculum in soil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1995Abstract The survival and activity of a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens, chromosomally marked with lux genes, was studied following inoculation into microcosms containing autoclaved or non-autoclaved soil adjusted to matric potentials of −30, −750 and −1500 kPa and incubated for up to 3 months. Viable cell concentrations were determined by dilution

Debilitation of conidia of Cochliobolus sativus at high soil matric potentials
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1988Abstract Membrane filter envelopes containing conidia of Cochliobolus salivus were buried in a loam soil in tensiometers at 0, −5, −15 and −30 kPa matric potential (ψm) for 0. 7, 14 and 28 days. Controls were fresh conidia harvested on the day of germination testing and dry conidia harvested at the beginning of the experiment.

Controlling soil water matric potential in root disease studies
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1977Soil contained in 5.6 × 2.0 × 10.5 cm Plexiglas soil containers was separated from solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 by a Pellicon ultrafiltration membrane glued over the inside of 3.8-cm-diameter holes in two sides. Flow rate through the membrane was 4.4 ml day−1 cm−2 for a 1.0-bar potential difference across the membrane.

Influence of soil matric potential on the debilitation of oospores of Pythium aphanidermatum
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1995Abstract The influnece of soil matric potential on the debilitation of oospores of Pythium aphanidermatum was assessed during incubation in Yanagido sandy loam and Kakamigahara clay loam soil in tensiometers at 0, −1, −5, −10 and −15 kPa ψm over a period of 80 days. Germinability in salts solution and viability in corn meal agar of oospores started

Influence of matric potential and soil compaction on growth of the take-all fungus through soil
Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1987Growth responses of the take-all fungus, Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici , to matric potentials between zero and −0.01 MPa were investigated. Growth was influenced by soil compaction. The range of matric potentials over which the fungus grew well was restricted with increasing bulk density.

Changes in the matric potential of soil water with time after disturbance of soil by moulding
Soil and Tillage Research, 1990Abstract Moulding of moist soil samples destroys most of any pre-existing structure and results in a spatial homogenization of the distribution of three component phases: mineral particles, water and air. Such an arrangement is not entirely stable and, if such a disturbed system is allowed to rest, structural rearrangements occur so as to minimize ...

Field tests were established during the summer of 1982 and the winter of 1982-1983 to determine the ability of sporangia, zoospores, and oospores of Phytophthora capsici to survive at two depths, 4-6 and 20-22 cm. Average soil moisture and temperature were recorded daily.
