Question

Given below are two statements
Statement I: Higher exchangeable sodium (>15%) makes the soil dispersed and favours soil crustation
Statement II: Exchangeable calcium in soil helps in forming stable soil aggregates by its effect of flocculation
Choose the correct answer:

A.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

B.

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

C.

Statement I is true, but Statement II is false

D.

Statement I is false, but Statement II is true

Correct option is A


Statement I is true: Soils with high exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP >15%) show poor structure, dispersed particles, and crust formation due to repulsion between particles.
Statement II is true: Calcium (Ca²⁺) promotes flocculation, leading to aggregation and better structure. Hence, both statements are correct.
