Banana
A smaller variety of the Cavendish banana, grown in many home gardens.
Mostly sand with some silt and clay; better structure than sandy soil, good drainage, moderately fertile.
Mildly alkaline, may reduce the availability of some nutrients.
Rich organic content, typical of fertile, healthy soils with good plant growth.
Salinity begins to affect many common crops, reducing their growth and yield.
Impact: Moderate stress on crops like corn, wheat, and lettuce; salt-tolerant plants like barley may still thrive.
