Remarks / Special Instructions (if any):

Description : The Pressure Plate apparatus provide a convenient, reliable means of removing soil moisture, under controlled conditions, from soil samples throughout the whole plant growth range, without disturbing the soil structure. The method may be used on disturbed samples or undisturbed soil cores. Through the application of the Pressure Plate Apparatus moisture retention curve may be developed for each soil type. The curves relate the soil suction, at which moisture is held by the soil to its moisture content. This relationship is important in studies of soil moisture movement and of quantity and availability of soil moisture for plant growth.
