Quantity of soil to be taken for texture analysis? (IFFCO 2022)

✅Explanation:
In arboriculture (the study of trees), the crotch is the term used to describe the angle formed where a branch joins the trunk of a tree. This angle is important for tree health and stability.

• Here's why the crotch angle matters:
-Structural Integrity: A strong, wide crotch angle is generally more resistant to splitting or breaking under stress (from wind, snow, or the weight of the branch).
-Branch Union: The crotch is where the branch and trunk tissues connect. A good crotch angle promotes a strong union.
-Bark Inclusion: Bark can become trapped within a narrow crotch angle, leading to weakness and potential failure.
