Abstract
SUMMARY Determinations were made of the available-water capacities and moisture release characteristics of six soils of different texture from Rothamsted, Woburn and Saxmundham. The amount of available water retained in the surface foot of soil ranged from 1·59 in in a sandy loam to 2·75 in in a silt loam under permanent grass. With one exception soils which had received additions of farmyard manure had significantly higher available-water capacities than unmanured soils.Keywords
