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.
