Question: At permanent wilting point (PWP) the pF value is:
Options:
0
2.5
4.2
6
✅Explanation:
Permanent wilting point (PWP) is the soil moisture level at which plants can no longer extract water and remain wilted even if rehydrated. At this point, the soil water is held very tightly by soil particles. The pF value at PWP is generally around 4.2.
Permanent Wilting Point (PWP)
-In Permanent Wilting Point (PWP) plants can be no longer obtains enough moisture to meet their requirements and remained wilted until water is added into the soil.
–Â It is a soil characteristic.
-It is the lower limit of available water to plant.
-Soil moisture tension at PWP is about -15 bars or 15 atmospheres.
