Question

Soil water is available between

A.

1/3 – 15 atm

B.

15 – 31 atm

C.

2/3 – 15 atm

D.

10 – 30 atm

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A) 1/3 – 15 atm
Explanation:
The available water in soil refers to the amount of water held between the field capacity and the permanent wilting point, which corresponds to the soil moisture tension between 1/3 atmosphere (field capacity) and 15 atmosphere (permanent wilting point).
This is the range in which water is readily available to plants for uptake through their roots.
Information Key Points:
  • Permanent wilting point (15 atm): The point at which plants can no longer extract water; they wilt permanently.

  • Available water = Field Capacity – Wilting Point
