Understanding Plant Available Water (PAW) to optimize irrigation management

SoilSense's algorithm takes guesswork out of irrigation by providing clear Plant Available water insights

For years, soil moisture has been a central metric in agricultural irrigation management. However, the concept of Plant Available Water (PAW) goes beyond simple moisture levels. PAW refers specifically to the range of soil moisture that plants can actively absorb through their roots. It sits between field capacity—when the soil has absorbed as much water as it can after ...

What is Field Capacity and why is it important?

Understanding Field Capacity

Field capacity is an important concept in soil science, agriculture, and environmental management. It refers to the amount of soil moisture or water content held in the soil after excess water has drained away and the rate of downward movement has decreased. The soil is at field capacity when it is saturated with water, but not so much that water is freely draining throu...
