Thank you so much sir about your gorgeous lecture. I am very happy to understood the soil physics...I am aspirant of jrf physical science..and please make a video for jrf.... 😊

[@ProfessorKukalSoilScienceClass]

THanks Tyson for your comments. Regarding JRF, I feel that if you could understand the concepts of any subject, you can very surely attempt all the MCQ or any other type of short or long type of questions. I wish you all the best.

Voice quality z nt clear

[@ProfessorKukalSoilScienceClass]

Yes, but not to the extent to be not clear.

Dear Sir Good morning can you mention referring valid source to define soil matric forces,I am a student of Agriculture Bsc in Sri Lanka it is necessary to enter to an Assignment

[@ProfessorKukalSoilScienceClass]

To my knowledge it is as given below:
Kohnke, H. (1968). Soil Physics. McGraw Hill, New York.

Sir can u explain pF value in simple way?

[@ProfessorKukalSoilScienceClass]

Yes. Say, You have a value of soil matric potential as -1000 cm. Its pF will be 3. 3 is simply the negative log of pF (just like pH, which is negative log of H ion concentration). So pF is negative log of soil matric potential. Just to write a huge value in terms of log value. Hope I am able to make yyou understand. All the best.
