Water holding capacity of the soil depends uponA. chemical composition of soilB. particle size of soilC. aggregation of soil particlesD. all of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - D The quantity of water that soil can retain after flowing down of the gravitational water is called its field capacity or water holding capacity. It depends on chemical composition of the soil which means types of ions present and hence pH of the soil. Size of soil particles and their aggregation form pores in soil. Large pores take part in percolation of water in the soil but small pores hold water by capillarity. |
