    Balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, well-draining but retains moisture, highly fertile.

  • pH Range: 7.4 - 7.8

    Mildly alkaline, may reduce the availability of some nutrients.

  • Organic Matter: Moderate (2% - 4%)

    Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.

  • Salinity Level: < 2 (Non-Saline)

    Very low salinity, ideal for most crops.
    Impact: No adverse effects on plant growth. Suitable for a wide variety of crops.

  • Hardiness Zone: 12A (Min: 50°F, Max: 55°F)
  • Humidity: Moderate

    Comfortable for most plants; typical for temperate regions.
    Impact: Generally ideal for most crops and plants; supports healthy growth and development.

  • Water Requirement: 0.5 - 1 inches per week

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (0.5 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.22 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.1 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Nitrogen (N) (2.5 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.3 - 2)

    Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.

  • Potassium (K) (1.78 - 3)

    Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.

  • Sulfur (S) (0.24 - 6)

    Key component of some amino acids and vitamins, supports overall plant metabolism.
