Defenation of Soil Texture
Answers
Texture indicates the relative content of particles of various sizes, such as sand, silt and clay in the soil. Texture influences the ease with which soil can be worked, the amount of water and air it holds, and the rate at which water can enter and move through soil.
HELLO DEAR ❤️
GOOD EVENING
Soil texture refers to the relative percentage of sand, silt and clay in a soil. Natural soils are comprised of soil particles of varying sizes. Texture is an important soil characteristic because it will partly determine water intake rates (absorption), water storage in the soil, and the ease of tillage operation, aeration status etc. and combinedly influence soil fertility.
As for an example, a coarse sandy soil is easy to cultivate or till, has sufficient aeration for good root growth and is easily wetted, but it also dries rapidly and easily loses plant nutrients through leaching. Whereas in case of high-clay soils (> 35% clay) have very small particles that fit tightly together, leaving very little pore spaces which permits very little room for water to flow into the soil. This condition makes soils difficult to wet, drain and till.
