Soil texture refers to the proportion of sand, silt, and clay particles in soil and determines how water and nutrients move through the root zone. Sandy soils drain rapidly but retain few nutrients, while clay soils hold water and nutrients but risk waterlogging. Loam soils offer balanced conditions for coffee roots. Understanding texture helps farmers adjust irrigation, mulching, and fertilization to maintain stable moisture and root health.
