Question

There is an increasing demand for berries in Paul’s town. He wants to cultivate berries to earn profits. To do so, he wants to check whether the soil in his farm is suitable for cultivating berries. Which characteristic of soil will most accurately check the suitability of land for growing berries?
A) soil profile
B) soil texture
C ) soil horizon
D) soil moisture

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Soil texture is defined as the amount of soil that is present and the type of materials that comprises the soil such as sand, silt and clay particles, of which the sands are the coarser particles and the clay is the finer particles.

This soil texture enables us to determine the properties such as moisture content,  porosity and permeability and the number of nutrients that it can provide for the growth and expansion of plants.

Thus, from the above-given condition, the soil texture property helps in checking the suitability of the land for growing berries.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
