Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Assertion:
Field capacity is maximum in loam soil.
Reason:
In water logging condition, the soil has maximum field capacity.
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
The
optimum or maximum amount of water retained per unit dry weight of soil
after the stoppage of gravitational flow is called field capacity . It
is 25-35% in common loam soils. Soil moisture beyond field capacity
produces water logging.
