Answer 1

The soil that is a mixture of slit, sand, clay and humus is preferred by the farmers because it is good for the growth of plants. This type of soil is called loamy soil. Loamy soil contains optimum water retention capacity as well as air trapping ability, which makes it perfect to support plant growth.
