The Soil Texture Triangle

The USDA Soil Texture Triangle is a graphical tool used to classify soil based on its sand, silt, and clay content. It helps farmers and scientists understand soil properties and make informed decisions for agriculture and land management. By analyzing the proportions of these particles, one can determine the soil's texture class, which guides practices like irrigation, crop selection, and nutrient management, as well as preventing issues like erosion. The Soil Texture Triangle is a crucial tool for sustainable land use.
