Resumen
Summary
This article presents the importance of knowing certain environmental conditions. we will have the
capacity to analyze which physiological mechanisms influence the transport of water on the plant,
the phenomena are presented so that such transport occurs in a timely and efficient manner. For
this study, we will take into account properties such as soil moisture and how to calculate this
humidity. We already have a number of methods for measuring soil moisture content, such as soil-
based methods such as touch and appearance; In addition to the gravimetric method that
determines the moisture content with the difference of the weight of the wet sample with respect
to the dry one. Method based on equipment, in this method the capillary pressure of the water in
the soil indicates the force that must be exerted to extract water from the soil, this is a good
indicator of water availability for plants. On the other hand, the water potential is used to make the
decision of the moment of irrigation and the day before. It is also a very useful tool in the research
and production of crops in the place to know the hydric state of the crop, the alternatives of
fertilization management techniques, the control of pests, etc., and the Impact of water deficiencies
on crop yield.
