Basic Soil-Plant-Water Relationships with Dr. Frank Gaudi
Plant growth depends on two important natural resources — soil and water. Soil provides support and the nutrient reservoir necessary for plant growth. Water is essential for plant life processes. Effective management of these resources for crops and landscapes requires growers and landscapers to understand relationships between soil, water, and plants. This relationship is significant to irrigation users that desire to use best management practices such as irrigation scheduling.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The difference between soil texture and soil structure
What saturation, field capacity, and permanent wilting point mean
What soil moisture content is and how to measure it
Understand soil moisture depletion
Learn why available water holding capacity is important
Understand the science of management allowable depletion
Learn how to do some basic calculations
Special Guest: Dr. Franklin Gaudi.
