precipitation events without causing water logging, runoff,

or surface erosion.

Examples of soil physical characteristics as average

values for the 0 - 80 cm depth for the three measurement

standards used in the trial are as follows:

a) 27th July

- the average SMC was 19.35%

(39% of the

available SMC, or a corresponding soil matric potential

- SMP of 76 kPa)

in T1; 18.20%

(32% of the available

SMC, or 96 kPa)

in T2 and 16.40%

(22% of the available

SMC, or 161 kPa)

in T3. SMC values were not much

different from one another.

b) 7th August

- the average SMC SMC was 21.05%

(49%

of the available SMC, or a corresponding SMP of 53

kPa)

in T1; 16.7%

(24% of the available SMC, or 142

kPa)

in T2 and 15.10%

(15% of the available SMC, or
