The purpose of this study was to identify the specific water consumption level for the soybean crop that grow well in the pedoclimatic conditions of the Caracal Plain. Using the irrigation for maintaining water reserve between minimum level of easily water content and field capacity has improved the crop water consumption and yield too. Further more, there are presented useful data for water application forecast and warning from the corresponding methods and equipment standpoint.
