Table of content
Answer: (c) Both A and B
The field capacity of a soil depends upon capillary tension in soil and porosity of soil.
Solution
Field Capacity:- It is defined as the amount of water content left in the soil after excess water gets drained off due to gravity and also the rate of downward movement is decreased.
- Field capacity is always expressed in percentage.
- Field capacity is always less than or equal to saturation capacity.
