Soil texture refers to the composition of soil based on the size of the mineral particles it contains. There are three main soil texture categories: sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt, and then clay, which are the smallest. The combination of these particles determines the overall texture of the soil, which can impact its ability to hold and drain water, nutrients, and air. Soil texture is an important factor in determining the suitability of soil for various plant growth and agricultural practices.
