Abstract

Soil-water-plant relationship relate to the properties of soil and plants that affect the movement, retention, and use of water. The rate of entry of water into the soil and its retention, movement and availability to plant roots are all physical properties of soil. A number of soil physical characteristics collectively have potential to impact irrigation practices and management, and how efficient a job is done with irrigation.
