soil that is made up of about equal parts of clay, sand, and silt is called loam. it has a crumbly texture that holds both air and water. loam is best for growing most types of plants.

What type of soil has maximum water holding capacity?
alluvial soil
What role does water-holding capacity have in agriculture?
Water holding capacity refers to how well the soil holds water. Good holding capacity is important because without it, farmers are required to install an irrigation system. Soil with good water holding capacity means higher profits for crop growers.
What is the water holding capacity of alluvial soil?
I have got WHC of CLAY Soil- 45% sandy soil- 25%
WHY LOAM SOIL IS BEST?
Because water holding capacity of laom is very good.
What are the effects of soil erosion on earth?
The effect of soil erosion on earth is that it leads to the removal of fertile soil. It leads to the lessening of water holding capacity of soil.
What is the water holding capacity of loamy soil?
the water holding capacity of the loamy soil is very easy

What kind of soil most conducive to vegetative growth?
Loam is the best soil because it has moderate aeration & water holding capacity. :) --ynah*
What soil has marked capacity to retain water?
Clay, particles are very fine, which means it has a high surface area, this results in it having a high water holding capacity
Why water holding capacity of garden soil is more than road side soil?
because of more organic material mixed in garden soil which absorb and hold water as compare to road side soil.
Which soil has the highest capacity to retain water?
Clay has the highest water holding capacity. This is because clay is made up very small tightly packed particles that do not allow water to percolate through.
What is the ability of a matirial to hold liquid in to a certain extain?
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
Does clay have a low water holding capacity?
no, it has a very high holding capacity
