Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Sandy Loam

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

  • pH Range: 7.4 - 7.8

    Mildly alkaline, may reduce the availability of some nutrients.

  • Organic Matter: High (4% - 6%)

    Rich organic content, typical of fertile, healthy soils with good plant growth.

  • Salinity Level: 4 - 8 (Moderately Saline)

    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.

  • 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.
