Question

If we get a concretion layer while sampling for orchard plantation. What should we do?

Answer 1

Before planting in an orchard, the soil must be analysed in a laboratory to determine its properties.

A concretion is hard layer of soil which restricts the growth of a plant and it leads to a decreased production.

If a concretion layer is found while sampling for orchard plantation, the soil needs to be ploughed well and fertilized.
