Question

Distinguish between Clayey soil and loamy soil​

Answer 1

${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

$\small\mathbf\orange{{Clayey \: Soil : }}$

• Clay Soil is a heavy soil type that benefits from high nutrients.
• Clay soils remain wet and cold in winter and dry out in summer. These soils are made of over 25 percent clay, and because of the spaces found between clay particles, clay soils hold a high amount of water.
• Clay soils feel very sticky and rolls like plasticine when wet.
• They can hold more total water than most other soil types and, although only about half of this is available to plants, crops seldom suffer from drought.

$\small\mathbf\purple{{Loamy \: Soil : }}$

• Loam is soil made with a balance of the three main types of soil: sand, silt, and clay soil. As a general rule, loam soil should consist of equal parts of all three soil types.
• This combination of soil types creates the perfect soil texture for plant growth.
• Loamy soil is ideal for most garden plants because it holds plenty of moisture but also drains well so that sufficient air can reach the roots. Many gardeners complain of their garden soil being compacted and/or poorly drained.

Answer 2

If soil contains greater proportion of big particles it is called sandy soil. If the proportion of fine particles is relatively higher, then it is called clayey soil. If the amount of large and fine particles is about the same, then the soil is called loamy. Thus, the soil can be classified as sandy, clayey and loamy.
