Porosity specialises in soil moisture, weather & water monitoring for dryland & irrigated agriculture, horticulture and the environment.

What is Porosity?

PRONUNCIATION: paw-ros-i-tee.
DEFINITION: the ratio of the volume of pores to the total volume. The porosity of soil is determined by texture, structure and compaction.
RELEVANCE TO AGRICULTURE: determines how quickly water infiltrates, how much water is retained for plant use, and how easily roots develop in the soil.
