Soil Series
Properties limiting crop production
Management Recommendation
Angeles | Structureless; poor water holding capacity; low fertility; subject to seasonal flooding; gravel is present throughout the profile | Suitable for rice during wet season but needs ample amount of fertilizers to address fertility problem; phosphorus application | Application of organic matter; practice timing of planting; deep plowing; phosphorus application | Suitable for root crops due to sandy texture |
La Paz | High water table and local flooding in wet seasons precludes dry land crops; rapid permeability precludes gravity irrigation except when water table is seasonally high; low fertility | Suitable for rice during WS but needs ample amount of fertilizers to address the fertility problem; phosphorus application; construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard & high seasonal water table | Application of organic matter; timing of planting; construction of adequate drainage, irrigation, and flood control system; phosphorus application | Suitable for root crops due to sandy texture |
Luisiana | Highly leached; very acidic; iron and aluminum toxicity; low base saturation and low CEC; runoff; topography | Liming; fertilizer application; best suited for rice because flooding increase soil pH | Practice contour farming; strip cropping and cover cropping; application of fertilizer | Suited for root crops |
Luisita | Seasonal flooding; hard and compact when dry | Timing of planting; construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard and high seasonal water table | Timing of planting; fertilization, mulching; construction of beds and ridges for vegetables; suited for sugarcane | Timing of planting |
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 seasonand 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, veetables and water melon | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system; regular addition of organic matter and animal manure to improve soil fertility |
Tarlac | When dry, hard and compact and formed into big clods | Timing of planting; construction of adequate drainage, irrigation and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard; fertilization | Timing of planting ; construction of adequate drainage, irrigation, and flood control system due to seasonal flooding hazard; mulching, construction of beds and ridges for vegetables; application of fertilizers | Not suitable for root crops due to texture constraints |
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 fertilizer and organic matter; artificial irrigation and drainage due to seasonal flooding hazard and high seasonal water table; allow proper drainage system; grow flood tolerant crops during wet season | Establishment of adequate drainage and irrigation system |
