Abstract
Since the appearance of the first research works dealing with agricultural soil-hydrology, the empirical concept of field capacity imposed itself as a practical nessicity (Richards and Wedleigh, 1952). The results of later studies have clearly proved the uncertainty of this concept and, consequently, the difficulties in its practical application.
