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 |
