    To determine the related characteristic of soil that may impact the crop production

    Explanation:

    Assessment of soil properties is necessary to determine the soil health. Not only this, it also gives information about soil activity, type and severity. There are various attributes to soil properties -

    a) Soil texture, color, layering

    b) Size of soil constituents

    c) pH

    d) Soil crust and its properties

    e) Organic carbon

    f) Soil and water salinity etc

    It is essential to know about the soil pH as it affects several factors such as availability of nutrients, presence of toxic elements in it, soil structure, bacteria and its survival rate etc. All these factors affect the crop product ability.

    Thus, it is essential to determine the texture and pH of farm soil
