Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wilting point is the point at which a plant is unable to extract enough water from soil to meet its needs, causing wilting and potentially leading to death. This can be caused by factors such as drought, high soil salinity, or compacted soil. Field capacity refers to the maximum amount of water the soil can hold, permeability refers to the ability of water to move through soil or other materials, porosity refers to the amount of empty space in soil or other materials, and cation-exchange refers to the process by which positively charged ions on soil particles exchange with positively charged ions in plant roots.
