Soil Series
Properties limiting crop production
Management Recommendation
Angeles Structureless, poor water holding cpacity, low fertility, subject to seasonal flooding, gravels are present throughout the profile 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 Suitable for root crops due to sandy texture
Arayat Hard when dry and sticky when wet Suitable for rice; apply fertilizer Plowing should be done when moisture condition is just right; use of broadbeds, ridges or furrows and mulching; application of organic matter and farm manure Not suitable for root crops dur to texture constraints
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 optimum; suited for irrigated and rainfed paddy rice; maintain properly the paddy dikes Construction of adequate 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
Bigaa Surface hardening and cracking during dry season making tillage difficult; seasonal flooding in low areas; seasonal high water table; very firm consistency Suitable for rice production due yo its clayey texture; apply fertilizer to maintain the fertility of the soil; construction of adequate drainage irrigation and flood control system Use broadbeds, ridges or furrows and mulching; timing of planting Not suitable for root crops due to texture constraints.
Buenavista Impervious clay subsoil with concretions; low fertility; poor drainage Suited for rice but need to apply fertilizer; practice contour cultivation Proper land cultivation, application of organic matter and animal manure to improve structure; construction of drainage Deep plowing; application of fertilizer
Candaba Deep annual seasonal flooding; shringling swelling clay, low physiography; lack of drainage outlets in wet season Suitable for lowland rice; timing of planting Suitable for diversified crops during dry season Not suitable for rootcrops due to texture constraints.
La Paz High water table and local flooding in wet season precludes dry land crop, 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 fertilizer to address the fertility problem; phosphorus application Application of organic matter; practice timing of planting; deep plowing; phosphorus application Suitable for root crops due to sandy texture
Prensa Dissected physiography limits paddy field size and excess elevations increase cost of extensive gravity irrigation inputs; excess 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 manure and mulches; proper timing of cultivation and planting Establishment of adequate drainage 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 fertilizers 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 Fernando Low physiography subjected to seasonal flooding; waterlogged during rainy season Suited for paddy rice Plow when moisture conditions are ideal; apply green manur; timing of planting; some slightly elevated areas are suitable for sugarcane and corn Not suitable for root crops because of waterlogging during rainy season
