摘要
Water movement in a soil–plant system was evaluated based on capillary flow in a modified subsurface irrigation system that incorporates a plant-water measuring device. Water from a reservoir tank located underneath the plant pot was supplied to the root zone through a fibrous medium. Evapotranspiration was measured from the water uptake and evaluations were performed based on soil moisture distribution and mass balance. Potential evapotranspiration was used as a reference for the plant–water uptake. Data were obtained from a test plant provided with the modified subsurface irrigation system. The plant was grown in a phytotron under controlled air temperature and humidity, and a comparison was made for different levels of soil moisture condition. The experimental results confirmed the operational efficiency of the modified subsurface irrigation system for precision irrigation.
