    Question

    What is the pF value of saturated soil and oven-dry soil?

    A.

    0 and 15

    B.

    0 and 7

    C.

    1 and 18

    D.

    1 and 9

    Correct option is A


    pF value represents soil moisture tension in log scale.
    Saturated soil has a pF value of 0, indicating free water availability.
    Oven-dry soil has a pF value of 15, meaning the water is held so tightly that plants cannot extract it, leading to permanent wilting.
