Question

Which type of soil has poor nutrient status and high leaching?

Answer 1

Explanation :

★ Leaching happens when excess water, through rainfall or irrigation, takes water-soluble nutrients out of the soil.

★ Often, this excess nutrient-rich water flows into rivers, streams, and lakes, or is absorbed into groundwater, which may affect local community drinking water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sandy soil considers the poorest type for cultivation as it has less nutrient value.

Laterite soil considers as high in leaching.

Explanation:

Sandy soil is formed by the fine particles of weathering rocks. It is known as the poorest form of soil for cultivation or agriculture as it has very low nutritional value and poor water holding capacity. It is generally coarse-textured until 5o cm depth. It retains few nutrients and has a low water-holding capacity. Soil management practices are helpful in improving soil productivity and crop productivity.

Laterite soil is found in the South Western part of India in plenty. The area west of the western ghats receives plenty of rainfall. The intense leaching is caused, because of which the organic and nutrients are lost from the soil. these soils are not fertile generally.

The leaching process is as water moves down through the soil, which carries away some of the nutrients (nitrates and sulfur) that plant use. Typical rainfall cause minor levels of leaching and the breakdown of organic materials on the surface resupplies the soil.
