Soil Moisture Constants Plants require adequate moisture constantly within the root zone from germination to maturity. A proper moisture balance has to be maintained for unretarded growth and development of plants at various stages. Hence, certain soil moisture contents are of particular significance in agriculture and are often called 'soil moisture constants'.    These soil moisture constants are explained below. Saturation capacity: When all the pores of the soil are filled with water, the soil is said to be under saturation capacity or maximum water holding capacity. The tension of water at saturation capacity is almost zero. Field capacity (FC): The field capacity of the soil is the moisture content after all the gravitational water is drained and the moisture content has become relatively stable. This situation usually exists two to three days after the soil has been thoroughly wetted by rainfall or irrigation. The field capacity is the upper limit of available moistur...
