Field Capacity is a point at which?
Correct answer: A. All the macropores filled with air & the micropores filled with water
- A. All the macropores filled with air & the micropores filled with water
- B. All the macropores filled with water & the micropores filled with air
- C. All the macro & micropores in the soil are filled with water
- D. All of the above wrong
Explanation
At field capacity, excess gravitational water has drained from the macropores, leaving them filled mainly with air while micropores retain water. All pores filled with water describes saturation, not field capacity.
