Sentence examples for maximum field capacity from inspiring English sources

The maximum field capacity (FC) for watering the pots was determined gravimetrically according to Shou et al. (2004) with some modifications.

The deep sandy soil (96.5% sand and 3.5% silt) has a estimated minimum (wilting point) and maximum (field capacity) volumetric water holding capacity of 5%and15%5% respectively and hence a maximum plant available water content of around 10%.

Each pot contained 1 kg disinfected dry vermiculite which was then watered to 70% of maximum field moisture capacity with Hoagland nutrient solution, with only one seedling cultivated in each pot.

Regardless of landscape position, CO2 flux rates exhibited a single maximum slightly below saturation, near field capacity.

Three irrigation treatments were based on replenishing the 0.60 m deep root zone to field capacity when the maximum allowable depletion (MAD) of the available soil water holding capacity of 25% (I1), 50% (I2) and 75% (I3) were maintained in the crop experiments.

(5 where SW pwp is the permanent wilting point, SW msw = SW pwp + 0.4 SW fc − SW pwp) is the minimum soil water content for maximum photosynthesis, and SW fc is the field capacity.

The maximum nitrification rate occurs when the soil moisture content is around field capacity, the soil pH is between 4.5 and 7.5 and the soil temperature is between 25 and 30 oC (Cameron et al. 2013).

It is accepted that maximum compaction occurs at fairly high soil water contents—just below field capacity.

The minimum of the maximum value of the growing season is the best estimator (R2, 0.91) for field capacity.

The maximum soil water content is defined as ≤ 240 l/m3 (soil water content at field capacity) and the minimum soil water content as ≥ 70 l/m3 (amount of stagnant water).

REW is defined as the ratio between available soil water and maximum extractable water (i.e., water holding capacity) and varies between 1 (field capacity) and 0 (permanent wilting point).
