Description : The Pressure Plate Apparatus is a laboratory instrument used to determine soil water retention characteristics and soil moisture content at different matric potentials. It operates on the principle of applying controlled air pressure to saturated soil samples placed. on a porous ceramic plate. It is widely used to determine field capacity, permanent wilting point, and soil water retention curves. The soil mositure characteristic curve developed using the equipment is used for irrigation scheduling of crops grown in different types of soil.
