Which farming practice is generally most suitable for reducing rapid water loss from sandy soil?

Correct answer: Frequent light irrigation

The correct answer is A, frequent light irrigation. Sandy soil has relatively large particles and wide spaces between them, so water drains downward quickly and the soil cannot store it for a long time. Supplying small amounts of water at shorter intervals keeps the root zone moist without sending a large quantity below the roots. Option B is unsuitable because one heavy watering may quickly drain beyond the root zone and may not remain available to plants. Option C exposes the soil surface, increasing evaporation and erosion. Option D removes organic matter that could improve soil structure and water retention. The key idea is to match irrigation with the soil’s rapid drainage.
