Gram seeds require loam soil to grow because loam soil provides good drainage, aeration, and moisture retention, which are essential for the healthy growth of gram plants. The balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay in loam soil ensures that the roots can easily penetrate the soil to access nutrients and water.

Mung bean (monggo seed) grows best in loamy soil that is well-draining and nutrient-rich. While it can still grow in sandy soil, it may need extra nutrients and water because sand drains quickly and does not hold nutrients well. Adding compost or organic matter to sandy soil can help improve its fertility and water retention.

The term for a seed that starts to grow into a plant is germination. During germination, the seed absorbs water, swells, and eventually sprouts to form a new plant.
To grow grass seed in sandy soil, improve the soil quality by adding organic matter such as compost or peat moss. Ensure the sandy soil is well-drained but still retains moisture. Select grass seed that is suitable for sandy soil conditions and water regularly but avoid overwatering to prevent drainage issues.
Seed sprouts use geotropism to grow towards the surface in dark soil. As the seed germinates, the shoot grows in response to gravity, which helps guide it upwards. In addition, the emerging shoot may also be sensitive to light, allowing it to grow towards the surface where it can access sunlight for photosynthesis.
