Abstract
In this paper an examination is made of the processes operative and the limits of accuracy of the electrical method of determining soil moisture.The resistance over a small plot is found to vary under similar conditions and it is concluded that these differences are most probably due to actual differences in moisture or other factors.The effect of the distance apart of the electrodes is investigated and a probability of a minimum resistance between two electrodes being observed under certain conditions is indicated.Keywords
