Question

Best soil for healthy and vigorous growth of a plant is

• A. Sandy soil
• B. Loam
• C. Clay
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Loam

Clay is rich in minerals but has poor aeration and sand has good aeration but lacks water holding capacity. The size of soil particles is largest in the case of sand and smallest in the case of clay. Loam is an ideal mix of clay and sand and it contains humus.

So, the correct answer is option B.
