  • Descrição: Core Ideas Soil water release curve is important but difficult to measure. HYPROP and WP4 are used to develop the soil water release curves for three soils. HYPROP and WP4 provided a good and simple way to measure soil water release curves. A soil water release curve (SWRC) describes the critical and soil‐specific relationship between soil water content and matric potential. In this study, soil moisture and corresponding matric potentials were measured using (1) a new method by HYPROP and WP4 dewpoint potentiometer, and, (2) the traditional method by hanging water column, Tempe cell, and pressure plate. The SWRCs were developed for Fargo silty clay, Glyndon silty loam, and Hecla sandy loam soils by using the van Genuchten model. The goodness of fit between the fitted SWRC and the measured data agreed well with R2 between 0.91 and 0.98. The comparison for the fitted SWRCs showed that the SWRCs for Hecla sandy loam soil provided the best agreement while Glyndon silty loam soil had the best match in terms of slope and shape. The SWRCs for Fargo silty clay soil did not provide a good match between the two methods. The difference in water content between the two fitted SWRCs was less than 2% for Glyndon silty loam and Hecla sandy loam soils. However, Fargo silty clay had a 4.5 to 5% difference for 66% of the measurements, possibly due to the different bulk densities caused by shrinkage and swelling nature of the clay soil. Since the best fitted van Genuchten parameters were within the reference range that was acceptable for the same type of soils, the HYPROP and WP4 can be used to develop SWRCs that are comparable to the traditional laboratory methods for the three soils in the Red River Valley.
