The relative moisture of the soil is expressed, for each depth, by the ratio 100 Ha/He, where Ha is the absolute moisture of the soil and He, the absolute moisture for a pF value of 2.7 (moisture equivalent). pF is the logarithm, to base 10, of the capillary potential. 3, record 1, English, - relative%20moisture%20of%20the%20soil

In general, since there exists a water shortage to crop requirement and possible water resources for watering crop, it is suggested to economically control soil relative moisture within 0.55-0.82 by irrigation, that is, supplies crop water by 50-90% of its water requirement. 2, record 1, English, - relative%20moisture%20of%20the%20soil
