Soil and Soil Formation - JSS2 Agricultural science Past Questions and Answers - page 2
What is a primary concern in soil science when assessing soil properties for agricultural purposes?
Ignoring nutrient availability
Focusing solely on topography
Maximising soil erosion
Evaluating nutrient availability, water retention, and soil structure

How does time contribute to soil formation?
It has no impact on soil characteristics
Through quick geological processes
Over time, weathering processes and organic matter accumulation transform parent material into soil
Time only influences animal husbandry practices

What role does soil texture play in agricultural practices?
It does not impact crop growth
Soil texture influences water retention, drainage, and nutrient availability
Soil texture only affects animal husbandry
It discourages sustainable farming practices

Why is understanding soil formation essential for sustainable agriculture?
To ignore the impact of soil on crop yield
Soil formation processes provide insights into nutrient cycling and soil health
Understanding soil formation is irrelevant to agricultural practices
To discourage sustainable farming practices
