Excess N, K
16Soil that is fine with heavy texture
high clay content
17The dark black color of soil means that it is
high temperature with high organic carbon level
18Which horixons has a larger amount of clay

19Good soil structure
water infiltration, percolation, surface condrion for resisting erosion
