Saturation capacity: The amount of water required to fill up the pore spaces in soil particles by replacing all air held in pore spaces is known as saturation capacity.

Field capacity: Field Capacity is the amount of soil moisture or water content held in the soil after excess water has drained away and the rate of downward movement has decreased.

Available moisture: The difference in water content of the soil between field capacity and permanent wilting is known as available moisture.
