Surface Soil Type: Silty clay
Family name: Fine, isohyperthermic, Typic Kandiudalfs
Fine textured soil with 35 60 clay content and isohyperthermic 22C temperature regime It is atypical representative of the great group Kandiudalfs It is an alfisol found in areas with well distributed rainfall ud from the word Udic with kandic property kandi ie low activity clays that have poor nutrient retention ability Alluvial accumulation of clay in the subsoil horizons from the underlying horizons is the characteristics of Alfisol soils It has relatively low fertility moderately high OM medium P low K status and low to moderate pH This is a deep well drained soil with no stones but has slight sheet erosion in rooling to hilly landscape It is recommended for fruit trees crops common in the area maybe grown with the combinations of erosion prevention and water control practices
