Open in App
Solution

Loam soils are best for plant growth because sand, silt, and clay together provide desirable characteristics of aeration. First, the different-sized particles leave spaces in the soil for air and water to flow and roots to penetrate.

Loamy soil is best for plant growth as it has high water retention capacity thus it retains water for long and also retains the nutrients which is required for plant growth.
