The amount of water that can be held in the soil after it has been fully saturated is called [[1]].

The amount of water that can be held in the soil after it has been fully saturated is called Field Capacity.

Field Capacity refers to the maximum amount of water that a soil can hold after it has been saturated with water and excess water has drained away. It is the point at which the rate of downward water movement slows and the rate of upward water movement due to capillary action balances the force of gravity. At this point, the soil is holding onto as much water as it can without becoming waterlogged.

Field capacity is an important characteristic of soil that influences plant growth and water management. Soils with a high field capacity are able to hold onto more water for plant use, which is particularly important in arid or semi-arid regions where water is scarce. However, soils with a low field capacity may be better suited to plants that prefer well-draining conditions or in areas with high rainfall where waterlogging is a concern.
