Question
due to its quick drying time, what kind of soil would need more frequent irrigation (watering)? a highly permeable soil a salty soil a soil that is mostly clay a low permeable soil
Permeability refers to the ability of soil to transmit water. A highly permeable soil allows water to pass through quickly, resulting in a quick drying time. Therefore, it would need more frequent irrigation to maintain adequate moisture levels. Salty soil's main issue is salinity affecting plant growth, not drying time. Clay soil has low permeability (holds water more), and low - permeable soil also retains water better compared to highly permeable soil.
