Question

Chresard occurs in the soil

• A. Around soil particles
• B. Inside micropores
• C. Inside macropores
• D. In percolation chambers.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Inside micropores

Chresard is an available soil water to plants. Water enters the soil through the pores by the means of capillary action and gravity. Micropores hold maximum water by capillary forces. These pores have high water holding capacity as water within these pores is immobile. However, this water is available for plant.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
