Explanation:

Because of their greater surface area per unit of soil mass, silt loams soils generally have a greater capacity than loamy sand soils to  to adsorbs water, absorb gases, release nutrients by mineral weathering, support bacterial growth.

Loam soil contains the perfect combination of sand,silt and clay particles to support growth of virtually all form of plant life( ideal plant growing medium). by weight it mineral composition is about 40-40-20% concentration of sand-slit-clay. It is subdivided into sandy loam, slit loam and clay loam depending on the dominate particle size in the soil.

silt particles are intermediate in size between sand and clay, water are not retained well in sand particle especially in large sand particles, while microscopic clay particles can hold on to too much water. Silt has the soluble nutrients plants need and it organic matter content is of high concentration, silty loam soil are the most balance and support the plant growth medium than other loam soils subgroup
