Answer:

The crops grown in sandy soil need frequent irrigation because the soil dries quickly and thus does not retain water for long so it needs to be watered more whereas clayey soil is watery and retains water for longer time, so, it does not require frequent irrigation.

Answer:

The infiltration of water into the sand is faster than into the clay. The sand is said to have a higher infiltration rate. The infiltration rate of a soil is the velocity at which water can seep into it. It is commonly measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that the soil can absorb in an hour.

That is why sandy soil needs frequent irrigation.
