Abstract
Soil analyses and determinations of moisture equivalent, wilting percentages, and wilting coefficient were made of Congaree clay loam, Georgeville clay, and Orange loam. Moisture equivalent and wilting percentage values for the lower horizons appear to be directly correlated with colloid content; and for the surface horizons with organic content. Moisture equivalent values were found to be higher in sieved than in unsieved Georgeville and Orange soils. Wilting coefficient values were found to vary considerably from those of the wilting percentage, and therefore, apparently are not a good measure of the lower limit of available water in the 3 soils.
