| Abstract:
For irrigation management, soil water content at permanent wilting point is generally estimated by the soil water content at –1.5 MPa (W15). However, the measurement of W15 needs a special device whereas its estimation needs to know some characteristics of the soil. A very simple device which can be used by the farmer, is proposed here to estimate W15. | |
