Soil Structure Classes

Human body is made up of different parts like organs and bones, the soil has its own body "soil structure" composed of little clumps known as "aggregates" and pores (space between soil particles). Soil particles stuck to each other using organic matter as glue to bind them together into different sizes and shapes like, granular (rounded), blocky (angular and subangular), prismatic, columnar, massive, and loose sand (structureless). A good, structured soil is essential for agriculture activities.
