Loamy Soil
Loamy is the final type of soil. The composition of this soil is very unique as it is formed due to the combination of all the remaining soil types i.e Sand, silt, and clay. Loamy soil is considered the best for the growth of vegetation as it has the most desirable qualities.
The water-holding capacity of loamy soil is good and the amount of organic matter present in the soil is also considered. This soil is even sometimes referred to as agricultural soil due to its main use and purpose. The Nutrition content of loamy soil is very high and is considered ideal for the growth of plants. The pH level of this soil is slightly high due to the presence of calcium and its inorganic origin.
Types of Soil : Sandy Soil, Clay Soil, Slit Soil and Loamy Soil
Soil refers to a broad term that means a loose layer of earth that covers the surface of the earth and includes disintegrated rock, inorganic and organic materials, and humus. Changing the form of soil from rock to soil takes 500 years or even more.
When different forces act upon the rocks, they break down into smaller parts to form “soil”. The forces also include the force of wind, water, and salt reactions. There are mostly 3 stages of soil, namely:
- Solid soil
- Soil with air in the pores
- Soil with water in the pores
The types of soil are determined based on texture, proportions, and different forms of mineral and organic composition.
