Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the soil is at field capacity, it means that it is holding the maximum amount of water that it can hold against the pull of gravity. Any more water applied will result in gravitational drainage. Therefore, option D is true. Option A is incorrect because at field capacity, gravity drainage has occurred in the past but is not happening currently. Option B is not necessarily true because there can be a surplus or not depending on how much water has been applied. Option C is incorrect because capillary forces are still active at field capacity.
