Soil water retention refers to the ability of soil to hold onto water and make it available for plant uptake. This property is crucial for plant growth and agricultural productivity, as it affects the availability of water to plant roots. Factors that influence soil water retention include soil texture, structure, organic matter content, and compaction. Understanding soil water retention is essential for efficient irrigation management, water conservation, and sustainable agriculture practices. Researchers study soil water retention through various methods, such as laboratory measurements, field experiments, and mathematical models. The goal is to develop strategies to improve water retention in soils and optimize water use in agriculture.
