28
Clay soil is not ideal for most growing plants because it _______
Feedback
Mulching will minimize evaporation and improve the quality of the soil, while drip irrigation minimize water loss by delivering water slowly and directly to the plants.
While plants need water for survival and food production, too much water in the soil prevents circulation of air and can cause the roots to drown and rot.
Water is very important in the growth of plants and crops.
While the ability to drain water quickly is important so that plants' roots will not drown, the combination of sand, silt and clay is still the best characteristics of soil for plant growth as it provides balance in water retention and drainage, as well as in nutrient retention, and air movement.
Silty soil provides better water and nutrient holding capacity making it ideal for these plants to grow.
The ability of clay to hold lot of water and not drain quickly will cause drowning. It is still best to use loam soil enrinched wih compost for better water supply and nutrient retention.
The use of mulching improves not only the moisture retention of the soil but also its nutrient content, while regular plowing can cause erosion and loss of nutrients in the soil
When the humidity or moisture in the air is high, our sweat evaporates slower from our skin, that's why we feel sticky. Higher air humidity also make the air feel heavy and harder to breathe.
Animals use water in many ways including bathing, drinking and rehydration, regulating body temperature, removing wastes and many more
Groundwater has undergone natural filtration as it goes through the different layer of soil, sand and rocks, therefore it is cleaner. While surface water may be readily available for irrigation purposes, it may contain some contaminants that may be harmful to plants.
