    Question: Hydraulic conductivity of soil is very low in case of

    Options:

    Acid soils
    Saline soils
    Loam soils
    Alkali soils

    ✅Explanation:
    -Alkali soils, also known as sodic soils, have a high concentration of sodium ions.
    -These sodium ions cause the clay particles to disperse and swell, leading to a reduction in the size and number of pores in the soil.
    -This reduced porosity significantly hinders the movement of water through the soil, resulting in very low hydraulic conductivity.

    📌 Other Options Explanations:
    -Option A: Acid soils: Acid soils can have structural issues due to the leaching of certain cations,
    -Option B: Saline soils: Saline soils have high salt content, which can affect plant growth.
    -Option C: Loam soils: Loam soils have a balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay, providing good drainage and water-holding capacity.
