摘要：Study of soil properties like field capacity (F.C) and permanent wilting point (P.W.P) plays important roles in study of soil moisture retention curve. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data. In this study, a new approach is proposed as a modification to a standard fuzzy modeling method based on the table look-up scheme. 70 soil samples were collected from different horizons of 15 soil profiles located in the Ziaran region, Qazvin province, Iran. Then, fuzzy table look-up scheme was employed to develop pedotransfer functions for predicting F.C and P.W.P using easily measurable characteristics of clay, silt, O.C, S.P, B.D and CaCO 3 . In order to evaluate the models, root mean square error (RMSE) and R 2 were used. The value of RMSE and R 2 derived by fuzzy table look-up scheme for F.C and P.W.P were (1.65, 0.87) and (1.03, 0.83), respectively.
