How does the texture model work?
It applies simplified, transparent rules to the sand, silt, and clay percentages you enter.

Soil-fraction study
Compare the sand, silt, and clay values you enter without uploading soil records or presenting a classification as a field prescription.
Verify laboratory sampling, local conditions, and environmental requirements before applying any material.
The calculator checks the entered sand, silt, and clay fractions against its simplified classification rules. It does not run a laboratory analysis, account for sample depth or field variation, or determine the suitability of a soil for any crop or practice.
Entering 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay displays loam in this simplified model. Verify your sampling and test method before drawing conclusions about a real field.

No. Sampling quality, laboratory method, depth, and field variation are outside this model.
Yes. Check that sand, silt, and clay values use one consistent basis and total 100% before interpreting the output.
No. It is a simplified classification, not a crop, amendment, irrigation, or tillage recommendation.
No. Soil texture is only one physical attribute and does not assess nutrients, biology, structure, contamination, or suitability.
No. Calculations and exports stay in the browser.
Yes. CSV and PDF use the displayed calculation.
No. It uses only values you enter.
Only as a simple scenario; field variation must be sampled and assessed separately.
Confirm representative sampling, laboratory records, field observations, relevant local guidance, and safety/environmental requirements.
