![]() ![]() So, it is most extensively used construction material. Sand is a loose granular material consists of particles of rocks and minerals like silicon dioxide.These particles are made from weathering of rocks either through physical or chemical mode or biological weatherig in some extent.Soil texture influences soil physical and chemical properties like water holding capacity, nutrient retention, nutrient fixation, nutrient availability, drainage, strength, compressibility and thermal regime. ![]() Hence we can determine the soil texture through analyzing the mineral particles it contains. Sand, silt, and clay are the main mineral particles in the soil that affect its texture.Sand particles are larger in size while clay particles are extremely fine, and silt particles are somewhere in between sand and clay particles.Sand silt and clay is grouped on the basis of their particle size. In fact, Soil texture is classified by the fraction of each soil separates i.e.
