Estimation of Badlauchstadt pedotransfer functions

• This program was used for estimation of the
  parameters included in pedotransfer functions.
  The experimental data for soil texture and
  saturated hydraulic conductivity were used for
  this purpose. Two additional data, apart from
  available MH and SP, were necessary for
  estimation of the pF-curve parameters. Such
  hydraulic soil parameters as field capacity (FC)
  and wilting point (WP) were chosen for this
  purpose. The comparison of simulated pF-curves
  with experimental data is presented in the
  following Figs.

Conclusion

• Generally, there are externally few things in the
  World, which we really anything know about. In
  the most cases it only seems to us that we know.
