What is the size of loam soil?
There are many different types of loam soils, each with slightly different characteristics, and with some draining liquids more efficiently than others. Different proportions of sand, silt, and clay give rise to types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam.[1] A soil dominated by one or two of the three particle size groups can behave like loam if it has a strong granular structure, promoted by a high content of organic matter.
What soil material containing more than 40 percent clay less than 45 percent sand and less than 40 percent silt is called?
fertile material
Is silt good for farming?
Yes. It is usually more fertile than other types of soil, as it has highly adequate water-holding capacity and enough space between the granules to allow oxygen and air to seep into. The fertile agricultural lands near the Nile river contains a lot of silt, which is why it is so popular for growing crops in.
Why is loamy soil considered the best soil for the cultivation of plants?
This question is somewhat odd, in that loam is the name of a soil texture. This is similar to asking, "What color is red?" The texture of a loam soil is loam.Soil texture describes the mixture of the fine mineral constituents of soil. By fine mineral constituents, we mean non-organic soil particles that are smaller than 2mm in diameter. These particle sizes are divided by size into three categories: sand, silt and clay. See the first link for the range in sizes of these particles.Sand is gritty and water can move through it quickly. Silt feels like flour. Water moves through it more slowly than through sand. Clay can be molded, and may be sticky when it's wet. Water moves through clay most slowly of the particle sizes. In addition, clay tends to be more chemically active than the other particle sizes, and can enhance soil fertility as well as the ability of the soil to filter out certain substances from water.Loam soil has a nice balance of sand, silt, and clay particles, the primary constituents of soil. Loam soils tend to let excess water drain freely, but still hold moisture for plants to draw on. Fruits, vegetables, and other plants thrive in loam soil.Loam is considered the texture of soil that is most favorable to plant growth.
What is silt soil?
silt soil is smaller than sand but larger than clay
Why is bhangar less fertile than khadar?
Bhangar contains more sand and less loam (balanced mix of sand, silt and clay) and is usually deposited away from flood plains (as these are coarse) thus lacking fertility but khadar is more loamy therefore it is more fertile (found mostly in lower flood plains). I hope it will satisfy you if not you can further ask !

What are the seven types of soil?
Types of SoilGeologists classify soils into more categories than seven, but there are six soil types that non-geologists use. They are: Clay, Silt, Sandy, Chalky, Peat, and Loam.

Why does clay soil retain more water than loam and sand?
your question is stated wrong! it is should be why does LOAM retain more water than clay and sand.
What is the type of soil that contains a mixture of sand silt clay and humus?
As Loam soil has almost equal proportions of sand, silt & clay the bacterial activity is very high. Hence bacterial activity is highly predominant in loam soil. So humus content may be high in loamy soil than clay which has high organic content but poor aeration due to which bacterial activity is low.
What river carries about 5 times more silt than the Nile?
Euphrates
Why does water pass slowly in clay?
Because the pores, or air spaces, between particles are much smaller in clay than in silt, loam, or sand. The water simply can't get through very quickly.
If you have had pid how do you become fertile?
More than likely you are still fertile if you have PID.

What makes some women so fertile?
Some women are just more fertile than others by nature. There are unsupported claims that certain foods or lifestyle choices make certain women more fertile. Younger women tend to be more fertile than older women.
