Clay type, organic content, and soil structure also influence soil water retention. The maximum amount of water that a given soil can retain is called field capacity, whereas a soil so dry that plants cannot liberate the remaining moisture from the soil particles is said to be at wilting point.
For those soils with a salt pH of 5.4 or below, the Lime Buffer Capacity (LBC) will be measured to determine the soil s lime requirement. The new LBC procedure is described in Southern Regional Fact Sheet SERA-IEG-6*3 University of.
