The new service will measure two physical qualities of soil the approximate amount of wat er the soil will hold one day after a heavy rain or complete irrigation, and the amount of water still in the soil when the plants wilt from lack of avail able moisture. The amount of water in the soil between these two measure ments is the amount the soil can hold available for plant use. And, since soils vary greatly in this usable water-holding capacity, these measurements will help soils specialists and county a- gents make recommendations for more efficient irrigation water and commercial fertilizer applic ations. For instance, farmers in irrig’ ated areas who install the essary measuring equipment will be able to use the results of the new test to determine much more accurately when to irrig ate and how much water to ap- ply, Evans explains. This should help irrigators get the best poss- ible yields with the least possible water and labor costs.
