ABSTRACT. Results of a climatological study of soil moisture under corn crop at Campina Grande (NE Brazil) are presented in this paper. Daily values of available moisture content during the crop growing period are evaluated for a period of 25 years. A six zone versatile soil moisture budget model is used for this purpose and approximately 5. 7.5, 12.5, 25, 25 and 25% of the available water capacity (AWC) are attributed to zones one to six respectively. Different root activity coefficients are assumed for the six zones in different growth stages and the dependence of these coefficients on moisture content is taken into consideration. The same moisture releasing characteristics are assumed for all soil zones. On rainy days moisture loss due to evapotranspiration is assumed to take place before precipitation. Four AWC values and three corn growing periods between March and September are considered in this study. A first order Markov chain model is applied to the daily soil moisture data. Soil moisture averages and probabilities are used to identify the optimum growing period for corn at this station. The irrigation requirements of the crop are briefly discussed.

To advance site-specific management of soil volumetric moisture content (VMC), this study analyzed the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of soil VMC using the method of sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) during the different growth stages of winter wheat. This was compared with data measured by time domain reflectometry (TDR) which is a well-established electromagnetic technique to measure soil VMC. The spatial autocorrelation coefficient of VMC indicated the strongest clustering of VMC in the tillering stage, and the least clustering of VMC in the harvest stage. A threshold of VMC in topsoil in the jointing stage of winter wheat was put forward. This threshold is 26, signifying that at a lower value, irrigation should be performed and irrigation efficiencies can be improved. Stable and sub-stable areas in the spatial variability maps of VMC were identified in the winter wheat jointing stage. Furthermore, the optimal irrigation stage was the early jointing stage, and irrigation was performed once as a guide. A loose-couple spatial model was constructed using the VMC in topsoil and the volume of water for irrigation. The VMC in the jointing stage of winter wheat was linked with efficient and water-saving irrigation.
