Soil moisture is crucial for plant growth, and this study looked at how moisture is distributed in different layers of soil in a mango greenhouse. By collecting and analyzing soil samples, researchers found that the subsoil layer had more moisture (26.17%) than the topsoil layer (22.84%). Both layers had enough moisture for mango growth, falling within the high moisture range. The study used maps to show the distribution of moisture, revealing distinct patterns in each layer.
