noun flocculations
- A condition in which clays, polymers or other small charged particles become attached and form a fragile structure, a floc. Repeated use of this type of [water] on plants results in deflocculation[] of the soil. Good quality soil consists of loose aggregates which provide natural aeration and ease of root run. Sodium accumulation in soil destroys this natural flocculation and causes the soil to pack.
