... Soil Moisture Deficit (SMD) ... is the amount of water that is required to bring a soil back to field capacity once some of the available water has been used up. Irrigation typically takes place when a predetermined SMD has been reached. This SMD may typically be 30-70% or so of the available water figure. Example: - If field capacity is 22 mm, and the available water capacity is 14 mm (this means that there is 8 mm of water which is unavailable to the plant!), then you may decide to irrigate when the SMD has reached within the range 4 mm - 10 mm (i.e. between 30% and 70% of 14 mm) : If you wait until there is a SMD of 30%, there will be 4 mm of available water left in the soil, in this example. The deficit is not brought back to field capacity in practice, but maybe 80-90% of it as this allows for any unforeseen rainfall that may occur. Thus, 90% of this example field capacity is 20 mm, (i.e. 90/100 x 22 mm). 2, record 7, English, - soil%20moisture%20deficit

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 10, English, - relative%20moisture%20of%20the%20soil
