Question

how to improve holding capacity of water of sandy soil

Answer 1

The water holding capacity of sandy soil can be increased by adding organic manure to it. Manure increases water retention rate in sandy soils and reduced the water retention in very clayey soils.

Answer 2

Answer:

In terms of soil texture, those made up of smaller particle sizes, such as in the case of silt and clay, have larger surface area. The larger the surface area the easier it is for the soil to hold onto water so it has a higher water holding capacity.

Soil organic matter (SOM)is another factor that can help increase water holding capacity. Soil organic matter has a natural magnetism to water.
