| USGA Summary Points: | Water retention and water conductivity of rootzone material or in a putting green rootzone are two important properties that are connected by soil water potential. In order to understand the water holding and water movement properties of a rootzone, both water retention and water conductivity have to be viewed as a continuously changing curve instead of one data point. Automated infiltrometers can be used to determine water retention and water conductivity in a few hours. This will eliminate many artificial errors associated with sample preparation and test procedures. Curves are generated rather than a single point to represent water conductivity. The proposed test methods can also be used to estimate soil physical parameters that better reflect field conditions and therefore offer agronomic value. |
