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 |
| Bantog | Poor drainage which can cause low N mineralization and Zn deficiency; very hard when dry, and difficult to cultivate when wet; seasonal flooding in low areas; slow permeability | Practice shallow cultivation when soil moisture is at optimum; adequate water control systems; proper maintenance of dikes | Adequate drainage, irrigation, and flood control systems; use broadbeds, ridges or furrows and mulching; application of plant residues and animal manure | Provide adequate drainage and irrigation systems; apply organic residues and farm manures |
| Faraon | Shallow effective soil depth limiting productivity of shallow-rooted crops; rock outcrops are present; hilly topography; plants may suffer Fe and Zn deficiency due to high pH; K deficiency; growing period is possible only in rainy season unless irrigated | Construction of bunds; application of ZnSO42- in lowland rice if deficiency occurs | Contour farming; shallow cultivation; fertilization | Not suited to root crops due to shallow rooting and presence of outcrops |
| Luisiana | Highly leaches; very acidic; Fe or Al toxicity; low K, Ca, Mg; low nutrient retention; run-off; hilly topography | Liming upland rice; adequate P and K fertilization | Contour farming; strip cropping and cover cropping; adequate fertilization. | Best suited for root crop; OM incorporation to improve fertility |
| Maligaya | Difficult to cultivate when wet and hard when dry; poor drainage; very slow air and water infiltration | Practice shallow cultivation when soil moisture is at optimum; adequate irrigation | Adequate fertilization and organic matter application; provide adequate drainage systems; use broadbeds, ridges, and mulching. | Establish adequate drainage and irrigation systems; adequate fertilization; proper timing of cultivation and planting |
| 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 |
| San Rafael | Fe or Al toxicity; acidic; very low fertility; hilly topography; high run-off; K-deficient, high erodibility | Adequate fertilization; phosphate fertilization; liming in upland rice; terracing/ contour farming | Liming; adequate fertilization; organic matter incorporation; mulching; intercropping/multiple cropping; contour farming. | Suited for root crops |
| Sapian (upland) | Presence of rock outcrops; shallow depth; hilly topography; excessive drainage; low fertility | Adequate fertilization; liming upland rice; terracing; adequate irrigation | Adequate fertilization with liming; organic matter incorporation; mulching; intercropping/ multiple cropping; contour farming. | Adequate fertlization with liming; organic matter incorporation; contour farming |
| Sara | Soil becomes hard upon drying creating wide cracks at the surface; difficult to till; acidic; lack of irrigation water; Fe toxicity | Liming in upland rice; application of organic manure to improve soil tilth; adequate fertilization; irrigation system with adequate drainage; alternate wetting and drying responds well to N and P fertilization | Liming; land preparation with adequate moisture; subsoiling. | Not suited to root crops due to heavy texture of the soil |
| Sta. Rita | Soil fertility; 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 to lowland rice; adequate and balance fertilization; phosphate fertilization; adequate draiange system; Zn fertilization when deficient. | Organic matter incorporation; cover crops; mulching; construction of broadbeds, ridges and furrows. | Not suited for root crops due to heavy texture of the soil. |
