Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hygroscopic water is tightly bound to soil particles and is unavailable for plant use. Capillary water is the water that is held in the soil by capillary forces and is available for plant use. Gravitational water is the water that drains through the soil due to gravity. Available water is the water that is available for plant use between field capacity and wilting point. Wilting point water is the water that is held so tightly by the soil that plant roots cannot extract it.
