Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Sandy Loam

    Mostly sand with some silt and clay; better structure than sandy soil, good drainage, moderately fertile.

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

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

  • Salinity Level: 4 - 8 (Moderately Saline)

    Salinity begins to affect many common crops, reducing their growth and yield.
