Soil texture is one of the most important measures of a soil because fine soil particles (clay and silt) have a greater surface area than coarse particles (gravel or sand). This is important in chemical reactions, soil fertility (nutrients), and the retention of moisture.

Modern soil texture analysis techniques (x‐ray attenuation, laser diffraction and particle counting) are very laborious with expensive instrumentation. Chilled‐mirror dewpoint potentiameters allows for the rapid measurement of the permanent wilting point (PWP) of soil. As the PWP is strongly dictated by soil texture, we tested the ...

Estimate soil texture by the feel method. II Introduction A General Soil texture is the relative proportion of sand, silt, and clay in a soil. Within each of these soil separates there is a continuum of particle sizes. Thus, there is a particle size distribution in soil ranging from the largest sand particles to the smallest clay particles.
