SOIL - WATER - PLANT                               RELATIONSHIP What is Soil? Soil is the voluminous upper part of the earth crust that supports land plants by holding them and by providing them with nutrients, water and air. Soil consists of unconsolidated inorganic particles, partially decomposed organic fragments, and pore spaces between and within. Soil Pore spaces contain soil air, and soil solution. Therefore, a soil volume consists of solid, liquid and gaseous phases It is inside the pores that soil particles, soil water and living plant roots interact and create the Soil - Water - Plant relationship that is the key to safe growth and successful production of land plants Quantity of pores, shape of pores and the magnitude of pores depend on the geometrical and mineralogical properties of the surrounding inorganic soil separates, their extent and their physical arrangements, or simply their Textural Classification and Structure Adequate knowledge of Soil Textural Classification and Soil Structure can contribute greatly to the advancement of the proper management of Soil - Plant - Water relationship It is inside the pores that soil particles react with soil water chemically, dissociate, and release chemical molecules that determine the chemical constituents of the soil solution
