Percent Available Soil Moisture (PASM)<br />

PASM = [(SMW - PWP) / (FC – PWP)] * 100<br />

SMw : weekly soil moisture (vol/vol)<br />

FC: Field capacity <strong>of</strong> soil vol/vol<br />

PWP: Permanent wilting point <strong>of</strong> soil (vol/vol)<br />

Frequency: weekly<br />

Initiation: with the dates <strong>of</strong> actual sowing<br />

Averaging: over dominant crop growth stages, viz., vegetative growth, flowering and<br />

pod development stage<br />

Level <strong>of</strong> PASM<br />

51 - 75 Mild drought<br />

26 – 50 Moderate drought<br />

0 – 25 Severe drought<br />

Soil water content, phonological characteristics yield, and yield components <strong>of</strong> soybean were<br />

collected. The long-term field experiments (2008- 2018) were conducted in soybean to study<br />

the relationship <strong>of</strong> per cent available soil moisture (PASM) on seed yield. Level <strong>of</strong> the PASM<br />

were classified as severe, moderate, mild and no drought based on the yield performance <strong>of</strong> the<br />

crop. The analyzed results indicated that at vegetative stage the lowest seed yield recorded i.e.<br />

597 kg/ha at 12 PASM treated as severe drought class whereas highest seed yield i.e. 1925<br />

kg/ha at 66 PASM treated as mild drought. At flowering stage the lowest seed yield recorded<br />

i.e. 1040 kg/ha at 14 PASM treated as severe drought class whereas highest seed yield i.e. 1719<br />

kg/ha at 60 PASM treated as mild drought and at pod development stage the lowest seed yield<br />

recorded i.e. 702 kg/ha at 11 PASM treated as severe drought class whereas highest seed yield<br />

i.e. 1896 kg/ha at 64 PASM treated as mild drought. The PASM values recorded at different<br />

stage <strong>of</strong> soybean indicated that moderate drought class gave 40 % <strong>of</strong> optimum yield during<br />

vegetative stage <strong>of</strong> the crop. From the overall study, the following PASM values may be<br />

followed as in impact criterion for declaring drought after the mandatory criteria <strong>of</strong> rainfall/SPI<br />

(Standardized Precipitation Index) deficiencies are triggered on.<br />
