Surface Soil Type: Sandy clay
Family name: Fine, isohyperthermic Typic Epiaqualf
Fine textured soil containing a large amount of clay 35 60 with isohyperthermic temperature regime 22C typic It is a typical representative of the great group Epiaqualfs aqu it has an aquic moisture regime ie the soil is saturated to the surface for long periods of time manifested by its grayish color with or without mottles indicative of poor internal drainage alfs an alfisol soil meaning there is alluvial accumulation of clay in the subsoil horizons from the underlying horizons It has very slow permeability and very high water holding capacity which implies that there is an adequate soil moisture for plant growth It has moderate to high fertility medium OM low P low K with moderate pH Best suited for lowland rice
