꧁Here is yours answer ꧂

Leaching can transport chemical compounds like dissolved substances or larger materials such as decomposing plant materials, fine rock fragments, and microbes throughout the Critical Zone. In agricultural ecosystems, leaching is an important balance between preventing salt accumulation and removing nutrients from soil.

Leaching is the loss or extraction of certain materials from a carrier into a liquid (usually, but not always a solvent). and may refer to: Leaching (agriculture), the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil; or applying a small amount of excess irrigation to avoid soil salinity.

Leaching removes vital nutrients and micronutrients, such as water-soluble boron, from the soil, causing potential deficiencies in crops. For example, when crops suffer from boron deficiency, they exhibit visual symptoms including: Misshapen, thick, brittle, small leaves. Short stems and a "shrunken" appearance.

in short form

leaching is the movement of contaminants, such as water-soluble pesticides or fertilizers, carried by water downward through permeable soils. Generally speaking, most pesticides adsorb to soil particles (especially clay), become immobile, and do not leach.
