Growing Environment

Soil Texture: Silt Soil
Smooth, powdery texture, holds water better than sandy soil but drains slower, fertile.
pH Range: 6.6 - 7.3
Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.
Organic Matter: Moderate (2% - 4%)
Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.
Salinity Level: 2 - 4 (Slightly Saline)
Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.
Hardiness Zone: 11A (Min: 40°F, Max: 45°F)
Humidity: High
Humid conditions, often found in tropical climates.
Impact: Can lead to excessive moisture, promoting diseases like mildew and root rot; may benefit certain moisture-loving plants.
