Question

Water logging of soil makes it physiologically dry because:

• A. This condition does not allow the capillary force to work.
• B. This condition does not allow oxygen to enter the soil.
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B This condition does not allow oxygen to enter the soil.

The soil needs to be aerated and watered properly to allow proper growth and development of the plants. When the plants are watered frequently or the water is not drained properly, then the water logging takes place. Due to the accumulation of the water in the soil, the oxygen cannot enter into the soil and in the roots of the plants. This results in the death of the plants.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
