field capacity

This concept is no longer used in soil physics, replaced by field capacity.

Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field capacity.

These pores are full of air at field capacity.

Available water is that which the plants can utilise from the soil within the range of field capacity and wilting point.

This is the question, because Russian field capacity as I understand is rather limited.

Soil water was restored weekly to field capacity.

I also welcome the reference to 'field capacity days', which helps to take into consideration the interaction between the type of soil and the climate.

The pores filled with water at field capacity.

As a result, high clay and high organic soils have higher field capacities.

When the Boston Marathon opened up registration for its 2011 running, the field capacity was filled within eight hours.

When snow melt occurs the soil is brought to field capacity and any additional water is lost through run off.

Yield and related morphological characters responded better at certain of the field capacity compared when with other treatments.

Soil that is at field capacity (among other reasons) may preclude infiltration so to increase overland flow.

Soils absorb and store water according to their water holding or field capacity and how dry they are to start with.

Therefore, I was glad to see that amendments that mention 'soil moisture balance' and 'field capacity days' were passed at committee level.

Field capacity improves on the earlier concept of moisture equivalent by Lyman Briggs.

The term "field capacity" is used to describe the maximum amount of water that deeply moistened soil will retain after normal drainage.

The total amount of water held when field capacity is reached is a function of the specific surface area of the soil particles.

It is used to predict the soil water storage, water supply to the plants (field capacity) and soil aggregate stability.

The amount of water remaining in a soil drained to field capacity and the amount that is available are functions of the soil type.

He returned to Port Adelaide in 1937, making one further appearance for the seniors and going on to serve the club in an off field capacity.

If water falls uniformly over a field such that field capacity of the soil is not exceeded, then negligible water percolates to groundwater.

Recharge is most likely to occur when the amount of water that is available to the soil exceeds the soil's capacity to store it (field capacity).

At that point, the soil is said to have reached field capacity, and plants that use the water must produce increasingly higher suction, finally up to 15 bar.

These compressors are used in the Groningen gas field to extract the remaining gas from this large gas field and to increase the field capacity.
