Water at wilting coefficient is held with a force of

A. 15 atm

B. 0.33 atm

C. $$\frac{1}{3}$$ atm

D. 31 atm

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Water at wilting coefficient is held with a force of 15 atm (atmospheres). The wilting coefficient of soil water is defined as the percentage water content of a soil when the plants growing in that soil are first reduced to a wilted condition from which they cannot recover in an approximately saturated atmosphere without the addition of water to the soil.
