Abstract

Soil characteristics and textural classes govern water holding capacity of different soils. Charts show effective rooting depths for crops. Soil monitoring and use of predictive equations can determine the amount of water needed between irrigations. Tensiometry, electrical resistance blocks, neutron probes, and time domain reflectometry allow growers to keep track of water in root zones throughout their fields. 36 pages.
