The least limiting water range (LLWR) is a soil physical quality indicator that receives much attention. It has been criticized and put to the test regarding mathematical models that compose it since they describe the ...

Knowledge on soil water infiltration is essential for the solution of problems concerning irrigation and drainage areas and those related to water and soil conservation research. In that regard, the aim of this paper was ...

The purpose of the present work was to establish and to test pedotransfer functions for water retention the Rio Grande do Sul s soils. Water retention data were obtained from Solano Peraza s dissertation, Irriga System ...

Studies on the dynamics of water in the soil-plant-atmosphere such as water availability cultures infiltration drainage and movement of solutes into the soil, require knowledge of the relation between the water content ...

The irrigated áreas are caracterized by an intensification of the land use, and as consequence, an intense use of the soil. This usually results in a higher pressure of the soil structure degradation, causing many times ...

The knowledge of the relationships between physical and mechanical properties of the soil may contribute to the development of pedotransfer functions (PTFs), to estimate other soil properties are difficult to measure. The ...

The determination of some soil physical characteristics, especially those related to water retention is difficult, requiring careful soil sampling, laboratories with sophisticated and high-cost equipment, highly trained ...
