Properties limiting crop production
Management Recommendation
Antipolo Sloping topography that causes risk of erosion; low available P; slightly acid soil Suitable for upland rice; phosphate fertilizers application Contour farming; suitable for acid-tolerant crops; liming; addition of phosphate fertilizers Contour farming; phosphorus application; suitable for growing cassava and camote
Culis Poor drainage and high perched water table in low areas; risk of erosion w/c exposes boulders and cobblestones in gently rolling topography; low fertility; low OM Flat low-lying area suited for paddy rice with addition of fertilizer; OM addition; establishing paddy dikes in undulated to rolling areas Establish proper drainage system; contour farming; fertilizer and OM application Establishment of adequate drainage; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility
La Paz High water table and local flooding in wet season precludes dry land crops; rapid permeability precludes gravity irrigation except when water table is seasonally high; low fertility Suitable for rice during wet season but needs ample amount of fertilizers to address the fertility problem; phosphorus application Application of organic matter; practice timing of planting; deep plowing; phosphorus application; drainage and flood control system Suitable for root crops due to sandy texture; establish adequate irrigation and drainage system
Pilar Seasonal flooding; low WHC; acid soil; low OM OM addition to improve soil structure and WHC; fertilization and liming Construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard and high seasonal water table; use broad beds and ridges; suited for diversified crops; animal or green manuring Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility and WHC
San Manuel Excessively wet and annual flooding for short periods and excessive drought during dry season; low phosphorus content Application of phosphate fertilizers; suited for paddy rice during wet season and with adequate irrigation during dry season Construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard and high seasonal water table; use broad beds and ridges; suited for diversified crops such as corn and vegetables Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil available P
