Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In agriculture, leaching is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due to rain and irrigation. Soil structure, crop planting, type and application rates of fertilizers, and other factors are taken into account to avoid excessive nutrient loss.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most sulfur deficiencies occur in sandy soils. Nitrogen is easily leached from sandy soils.
Detailed explanation-3: -The root absorbs water and causes a flow of water through the soil to-ward the root. Since this water contains potassium ions, these ions are transported to the root by mass-flow. The amount reaching the root will be the product of the water used multiplied by the potassium concentration of the water.
