Section 3 • Living Soil, Integrated Soil Nutrient and Crop Managements<br />

❏ How did soil texture and soil structure relate to water retention, nutrient availability, and soil<br />

microbial activity?<br />

❏ How did soil type (soil textural and structural classes) and farm location influence selection <strong>of</strong><br />

crops planted and the soil-water management practices employed?<br />

❏ Did farmers use different soil-water management practices because <strong>of</strong> different soil textural<br />

and structural classes as well as farm locations? Why?<br />

❏ Do you think there will be differences in crop per<strong>for</strong>mance (e.g., plant growth, development,<br />

and yield) among farms exhibiting different soil textural and structural classes? Why?<br />

❏ Did you learn any important soil-water management practices from other farmers related to<br />

differences in soil textural and structural classes? What are they?<br />
