Question

Importance of soil consistency in agriculture

Answer 1

We know that soil is a key element of agriculture. Without it we would not be able to grow the plants, which are used as food for both humans or animals. There are two important aspects we are discus here with soil properties that are concerned. First we focus on its hydraulic conductivity, the ability of the soil to manage, hold or drain water. Second, we look at its nutrient management, we refer to the chemical as well as mineral makeup of the soil as the consistency as well as soil texture Every soil is a mixture of three main competent sand, clay and silt.  

Answer 2

Soil is a very important natural resource in the agricultural field. Therefore, maintaining the right soil consistency is equally important. The water holding capacity and the movement of water through the soil for plants is determined by soil consistency. This consistency also determines the relative resistance of the soil to pressure. The soil consistency is usually analyzed at three moisture levels – dry, moist and wet.
