Question

which type of soil has a greater water holding capacity sandy or clayey

Answer 1

clayey soil has a greater water holding capacity

Answer 2

clay soil retains a lot of water and is high in organic matter, it can be damaged easily when cultivated while wet. Clay soil is also harder to cultivate than other soil types because it is naturally denser. Because the particles in clay soil swell and shrink as the soil becomes wet and then dries, clay soil can cultivate itself. In turn, sandy soil is simple to work, and loam soil is moderately difficult to work. Loam and silt are rich nutritionally and easier to work than clay soil, and loam's and silt's particles are not damaged when the soils are worked while wet.
