what is loamy soil and clayey soil and sandy soil
Answers
Answer:
Loam soil is a mixture of sand, silt and clay that are combined to avoid the negative effects of each type. These soils are fertile, easy to work with and provide good drainage. Depending on their predominant composition they can be either sandy or clay loam.
1) Loam soil is a combination of three different types of soil—sand, silt, and clay—each with their own characteristics. Sand particles are the largest. ... Silt particles are medium-sized, absorb moisture better than sand, and help the sand and clay mix together effectively.
2) Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals. Clays develop plasticity when wet, due to a molecular film of water surrounding the clay particles, but become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing.
3) Sandy soils are those that are generally coarse textured until 50 cm depth and consequently retain few nutrients and have a low water holding capacity. Soil management practices which lead to an increase in the fine fraction are helpful in improving soil properties and crop productivity.
