The present study was carried out to estimate the available water capacity of 130 soil samples collected from different districts of Tamil Nadu. The samples were analysed for field capacity at 1/3 bar pressure and permanent wilting point at 15 bar pressure in Pressure Membrane Apparatus besides, organic carbon and texture (particle size). The moisture retention at field capacity ranged from 6.8 % to 57.9 % and at permanent wilting point the moisture content ranged from 2.4 % to 38.0 %. The available water capacity (moisture retained between 1/3 bar and 15 bar pressure) varied from 1.2 % to 22.

Abstract:

The wilting of grass prior to ensiling is an effective method of reducing the moisture content of the grass and improving the fermentation quality of the silage (Wilkinson et al., 1996). The effects of wilting grass on voluntary intake, digestibility and animal performance are variable, potentially reflecting the losses of nutrients from the crop during the wilting period. Three methods of swath treatment to accelerate the loss of water from the mown crop are currently used in northern Europe, wilting in the swath, spreading the crop to 1.0 of ground area and tedding swaths.

Abstract:

Homolactic bacteria have been used to inoculate silages and improve their fermentation. Inoculation with these microbes has increased the rate and extends of lactic acid production in silage and decreased proteolysis and production of volatile organic acid. Wilting of high moisture forages prior to ensiling usually enhances preservation and intake responses of cattle fed silage. Wilting creates an ensiling environment that is conducive to a restricted proteolysis and fermentation, and the resulting silage is typically higher in water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and lower in fermentation acids.

Abstract:

Abstract Response to mid-day wilting (dehydration avoidance) among sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam)] genotypes is a consistent trait within and among years. This response is significantly related to storage root dry weight and net photosynthesis in most years. The relationship is more obvious among relatively high-yielding clones or when data are obtained over several years. Reduced mid-day wilting increases yield in high-yielding genotypes through increased net photosynthesis and increased partitioning of assimilates to storage roots. Increased storage root dry weight is also related to

Droughts present substantial challenges to agriculture, food security, and water resources. Employing a drought index based on soil moisture dynamics is a common and effective approach for agricultural drought monitoring.

This study leverages remote sensing soil moisture data from the Climate Change Initiative (CCI) series products and model-generated soil moisture data from the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model.

Abstract:

Wilting grass before ensiling has become a firmly established practice, since it provides economic advantages due to the increment of the dry matter content of the forage before ensiling. Most forage crops contain less than 20 per cent of dry matter when they are cut thus reduction of the weight of crop to be transported provides advantages (Gordon et al., 1999). Also, research has shown that such practices yield improved and reduced effluent loss from the silo and higher feeding value of the silage.

Abstract:

The interaction between moisture content and soil suction is commonly represented by a soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). The direct measurement of water content can be easily achieved, but it usually requires a destructive method where the soil sample needs to be oven-dried. Hence, indirect measurement is commonly employed for monitoring purposes. The limitation of this approach is the variability in water content at the wilting point, particularly for plants in different types of soil. While the moisture content at the wilting point varies greatly, suction at the wilting point is typica

The objective of the current study was to determine the preservation potential for an inoculant containing two strains of Pediococcus pentosaceus for forage that had been exposed to precipitation during the wilting phase. Forage was exposed to 26.4 mm precipitation and moderate drying conditions prior to being baled at 20–25% moisture without (Wet) or with Pediococcus pentosaceus (Wet-PP) application at the time of baling. A third hay treatment consisted of forage exposed to 27.6 mm precipitation and baled at 15–20% moisture without inoculant application (Dry). Contrary to results from previou

Abstract:

Rainfall and soil moisture availability vary greatly both spatially and temporally. They are prime factors influencing species distribution patterns, diversity and habitat associations in a range of biomes, and limit primary productivity in many natural ecosystems, as well as in forestry and agricultural systems (Hawkins et al. 2003, Kozlowski & Pallardy 1997, Lieth 1975). Projections of drying trends, and increased frequency and intensity of drought events with climate and land-use changes (Hulme & Viner 1998, IPCC 2001) have fuelled an increased interest in the role of drought in det

Abstract This study estimated the effects of new inoculants on fermentation quality and rumen digestibility of rye silage with different moisture contents. New inoculants were isolated for producing antifungal substances (Lactobacillus brevis 100D8) and fibrinolytic enzymes (Leuconostoc holzapfelii 5H4), and mixed at 1:1 ratio. Rye forage was harvested at 20 days after heading stage, and chopped into 3–5 cm length. The chopped forage ensiled immediately (high moisture, High) or after 8 h wilting (low moisture, Low) into 10-L mini silo (8kg) with new inoculants at 7.5 × 105 cfu/g (MIX) or comme

The felled oaks were naturally dried for eight weeks, from 4 July to 29 August 2017. We analyzed two methods of preparation and storage: a transpiration drying method (W), and an air-drying method for stem-wood (L). Transpiration drying is a better method for oak stems than air-drying. Statistically significant differences between drying methods were found after six weeks of storage. This coincided with complete wilting of the leaves. However, signs of wilting

Here, the effect of soil parameters on soil moisture and evapotranspiration are investigated by using parameters from three different LSMs participating in the European Land Data Assimilation System (ELDAS) project.

The accurate measurement of soil moisture can be a time-consuming task. Soil moisture is highly variable, and it can be difficult to capture spatially and temporally. While remote sensing has become a popular and ever-improving tool, on-ground measurement is required for both calibration, validation, and evaluation of any emerging technology. Many applications commonly require or use a relative value of soil moisture to assess the temporal persistency of moisture regimes across catchments or agricultural landscapes.
