Soil Series
Properties limiting crop production
Management Recommendation
| Annam | Aluminum (Al) and Iron (Fe) Toxicity; run-off; sloping topography | Poorly drained soils on the alluvial basin are moderatley suitable for paddy; fertilization; maintain properly the paddy dikes. | Green manuring; liming; large initial application of phosphate fertilizers; suitable for diversified crops. | Liming; contour terracing; buffer strip cropping; addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility and water holding capacity |
| Bantog | Poor drainage; high shrink and swell capacity upon wetting and drying producing wide cracks in the soil, hard when dry; seasonal flooding in low areas; slow permeability | Practice shallow cultivation when soil moisture is at optimum; suited for irrigated and rainfed paddy rice; maintain properly the paddy dikes | Construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard in low areas; use of broadbeds, ridges or furrows and mulching; application of organic matter and farm manure | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; application of organic matter and farm manure |
| Maligaya | Heavy clay poor drainage; high shrink and swell capacity upon wetting and drying producing wide cracks in the soil, hard when dry; very slow permeability | Practice shallow cultivation when soil moisture is at optimum; suited for irrigated and rainfed paddy rice; maintain properly the paddy dikes | Application of fertilizers and organic matter; allow proper drainage system in the field to address the heavy clay texture of this soil; use broadbeds, ridges and mulching | Establishment of adequate draiange and irrigation system; use of the right kind and amount of fetilizers including their methods of application; proper timing of cultivation and planting. |
| Prensa | Dissected physiography limits paddy field size and excess elevations increase cost of extensive gravity irrigation inputs; 2:1 clay causes physical limitations for diversified crops; sloping topography requires contour cultivation | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; proper leveling, construction and maintenance of paddy dikes | Application of fertilizers and organic matter; requires contour cultivation; use green manures and mulches; proper timing of cultivation and planting | Establishment of adequate draiange and irrigation system; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure; proper timing of cultivation and planting |
| Quingua | Climate, seasonal flooding | Suited for paddy rice; application of inorganic fetilizers to maintain the fertility of the soil | suited for diversified crops; construction of adequate drainage irrigation and flood control system; proper timing of cultivation and planting | Suited for root crops; construction of adequate drainage irrigation and flood control system; proper timing of cultivation and planting |
| San Fabian | During the dry season, the unplowed soil is compact and hard, and cracks into big clods; sloping topography; irrigation problems | Not suitable for irrigated lowland rice production due to irrigation problems; suited for rainfed rice | Practice contour farming; conservation tillage such as mulching and ground cover help conserve moisture; minimize runoff and control erosion; practice green manuring to improve soil fertility and structure; suited for vegetables and other cash crops | Subsoiling; addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility and water holding capacity |
| San Manuel | Excessively wet and annual flooding for short periods and excessive droughtiness from March to May; 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 broadbeds and ridges; suited for diversified crops such as corn, vegetables and water melon | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility |
| Sibul | Shallow soil; undulating to steep topography; sometimes presence of limestone fragment at the top soil | Nor suited for irrigated lowland production because of irrigation constraints; leveling and terracing | Application of fertilizer and organic matter; practice contour farming; conservation tillage such as mulching and groudcover ; slow runoff; minimize and control erosion;mulching using organic materials help sustain soil fertility; suited for any cash crop | Contour terracing; buffer strip cropping; proper fertilization; proper timing of cultivation and planting; liming; addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility and water holding capacity |
| Umingan | Presence of gravelly or stony layer at the lower subsoil. Due to this layer of stones and gravels, the soil tends to be droughty; occurrence of floods during and after heavy rains | Application of fertilizer; suited for paddy rice and other crops; clearing large gravel and rock outcrops. | Construction of adequate drainage irrigation and flood control system; application of fertilizer and organic matter; suited for diversified crops. | Gravel at the lower subsoil may cause the lower yield of root crops. |
| Zaragosa | Seasonal flooding hazards and high seasonal water table; extreme climatic limitation; some depositional problem | Suited for lowland rice production during dry season | Application of phosphate fertilizers and organic matter; artificial irrigation and drainage required due to seasonal flooding hazard and high seasonal water table; allow proper drainage system; grow flod-tolerant crops during wet season | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation systems. |
