Question

The highest enzymatic activity is observed in which size of soil clay particle?

A.

Clay 50 — 70 µ (Mue)

B.

Clay < 50 µ (Mue)

C.

Clay 70-90 µ

D.

Clay < 90 µ

Correct option is B

Soil enzymes are more active in smaller clay particles due to the higher surface area they provide for microbial activity. Clay particles smaller than 50 µ (microns) have the highest enzymatic activity as they allow more microbial colonization and nutrient exchange, both critical for enzymatic reactions in the soil.
