    Question

    Available water for plant growth is?

    A.

    Hygroscopic Water

    B.

    Total Water

    C.

    Capillary Water

    D.

    Gravitational Water

    E.

    None of these

    Correct option is C

    Capillary water is held in the capillary pores (micro pores). Capillary water is retained on the soil particles by surface forces. It is held so strongly that gravity cannot remove it from the soil particles. The molecules of capillary water are free and mobile and are present in a liquid state. Due to this reason, it evaporates easily at ordinary temperature though it is held firmly by the soil particle; plant roots are able to absorb it. Capillary water is, therefore, known as available water. The capillary water is held between 1/3 and 31 atmosphere pressure.
