Definition

Water retention at 1500 kPa (or field capacity) measures the amount of water that a soil can hold at this specific suction pressure. This is a critical indicator of the soil's ability to retain water against gravity after it has drained. At 1500 kPa, the soil's moisture content represents the point at which most of the water available for plant use has been drained, and it is typically considered the permanent wilting point.
