Intermittent water application improves soil infiltration by increasing the time it takes for water to pond on the surface. This method enhances the rate at which water penetrates the soil, leading to better overall infiltration. The study found that using intermittent application resulted in a significant increase in infiltration depth compared to continuous application. This means that by applying water intermittently instead of continuously, the soil can absorb more water over time, which is beneficial for various types of soil like loamy sand and loamy.
