Abstract

The agricultural production is closely related to the necessity of irrigation, as the atmospheric precipitation level is not enough to create required moisture and water reserve in soils. While regulating the properties of soils for special purposes, the variety and complexity of the current processes cause various reasons that needs to be investigated. As long as in soils water and air are spread in the porous areas, the value of porosity directly depend on the specific volume, accordingly, the improvement of air and water content in soils can be achieved by reducing their specific volume, or by loosening soils. According to the above mentioned the optimum crop-air mode for agricultural crops has been defined and empirical equations for calculation of water vapor in soil has been obtained using adsorption and desorption isotherm graph. In a case of experimental test we have corrected irrigation dates according to the decades, and appropriate assessment of air, temperature and precipitation data.
