The invention discloses an unsaturated soil moisture diffusivity measuring method based on perfect nonlinear flow process response. The method includes the steps: measuring moisture diffusivity in the horizontal infiltration absorption process, and measuring moisture diffusivity in the horizontal penetrating process; measuring total water infiltration amount and water contents at horizontal positions in a horizontal soil column in the infiltration absorption process; drawing a theta-eta relationship curve, and amending the theta-eta relationship curve based on measured values; dividing the theta-eta relationship curve according to a certain theta value, and solving a D (theta) value by a graphic analysis method before boundary effluent is formed; transforming the horizontal infiltration absorption process into the horizontal penetrating process, measuring soil matrix potentials at different positions and right boundary fluxes, and determining a diffusion coefficient after the boundary effluent is formed. The measuring method solves the problem that the testing principle of an existing testing method needs to control approximate linearization of an unsaturated moisture diffusivity D (theta)-theta non-linear relationship and measuring errors, information is clear and visual, and the measuring method has originality in the field.
