Question

The water holding capacity is highest in the clayey soil.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If the size of particle is small, the gaps between them is also small, so it retains more amount of water. Clayey soil contains small sized particles, sandy contains large particles while loamy is the mixture of both small and large particles in equal proportions. Thus, the water holding capacity is highest in the clayey soil.
