By using these water application fi

By using these water application figures as a base from which to start, you can refine the amount of water applied at each irrigation by using the readings from the deeper tensiometer. If the reading on the deeper tensiometer falls below field capacity after an irrigation, too much water has been applied and the soil is saturated. However, if after an irrigation the reading on either tensiometer does not fall to field capacity, not enough water has been applied.
