Final answer:

ECe is always greater than ECsw as ECe includes other dissolved ions apart from those present in ECsw.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. ECe (Electrical Conductivity of the Extract) is typically the measurement of the electrical conductivity of the soil water extract, while ECsw (Electrical Conductivity of the Soil Water) refers to the measurement of electrical conductivity in the soil water itself. Since ECe includes other dissolved ions apart from those present in ECsw, it is generally higher than ECsw. This difference occurs due to the presence of dissolved salts, minerals, and organic matter in the soil water extract.
