4.8  Discussion

                   i.  Do the curves of the sieve and hydrometer fit together smoothly? If not,

                      discuss some reasons.










                   ii.  Since only 3 size ranges are normally used in classifying agricultural soils,

                      how can this procedure be simplified and the basic information still be
                      gained.











                   iii. What can you predict about the soil-water properties of the measured soils

                      based on their particle-size distribution?







               4.9  Conclusion and Recommendation

                      From the discussion conclude your practical and suggestion.
