Soil Series
Properties limiting crop production
Management Recommendation
Alimodian Heavy clay subsoil that can impede internal drainage and root development; hilly topography; acidic Adequate fertilization; seedbed configuration; terracing; liming in upland rice Organic matter incorporation; liming; minimum tillage; deep plowing; mulching Deep plowing; adequate fertilizer application; intensive soil conservation practices
Magcalon Low fertility, low moisture; excessive run-off; shallow soil depth Adequate NPK fertilization; through land preparation Crop rotation with leguminous crops; application of farm and green manures OM incorporation to improve soil fertility
Patnongon Low fertility; presence of gravels and stones in the subsoil Adequate fertilization; thorough land preparation Farm and green manuring; crop rotation; thorough land preparation Farm and green manuring; thorough land preparation
San Manuel Annual flooding for short periods and excessive drought during dry months Suited for paddy rice during wet season and with adequate irrigation during dry season; respond well to N fertilization Adequate flood control systems, use broadbeds and ridges Adequate drainage, irrigation, and flood-control systems, regular addition of organic matter
Sta. Rita Soil becomes hard upon drying causing surface cracking and difficulty in tillage; K and ammonium (NH4+) fixation; poor drainage causing Zn deficiency and slow mineralization of N Best suited for lowland rice; adequate and balanced fertilization; phosphate fertilization; adequate drainage system; Zn fertilization when deficient Organic matter incorporation; cover crops; mulching; construction of broadbeds, ridges, and furrows Not suited to rootcrops due to heavy texture of the soil
Umingan Relatively low fertility; presence of gravels and stones in the subsoil; excessive downward movement of water, hence tend to be droughty; seasonal flooding especially after heavy rains Adequate fertilization; organic matter incorporation to improve soil fertility and water holding capacity Adequate drainage, irrigation, flood control systems, and adequate fertilization; organic matter application; adjust cropping seasons to prevent hazards of flooding especially during rainy season Gravels and stones impede root development, hence may cause lower root yields
