A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Soil-water-plant relationships

Soil-water-plant relationships explain how water is stored in soil, how plants absorb and use it, and how this controls crop growth, irrigation need, and yield. For the exam, you must master the movement of water from soil to root to atmosphere, key soil moisture limits such as field capacity and permanent wilting point, and the factors that affect plant water availability.
