Question

importance of good soil structure​

Answer 1

Importance of good soil:-

1. A good soil structure is important to allow air and water into the soil which are vital for healthy plant growth.
2. It will improve drainage and reduce soil erosion caused by excess surface run-off.
3. Without structure, soils will suffer from anaerobism, waterlogging and nutrient lock-up and, ultimately, plants will die!

Answer 2

• Good soil structure is soft and crumbly, with granular aggregates that hold together even in water.

• Soil structure can also be blocky, platy, columnar or structureless, such as a single-grain sand or a massive clay soil
• Soil structure is important because it allows for the growth of healthy plants and crops. Soil structure is important for the future of agriculture and farming in Australia, and without effective soil management, we run the risk of our farms and producers being unable to produce the large yields required by a growing population.

• When your soil structure is good, it contains a range of aggregates, a good network of space between particles and soil types, and it has good drainage to ensure that your plants can grow.
