Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Loamy Soil

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

  • pH Range: 6.1 - 6.5

    Ideal for most plants, especially in loamy soils.

  • 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: 10A (Min: 30°F, Max: 35°F)
  • Humidity: Moderate

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

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (1 - 4)

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

  • Copper (Cu) (2 - 9)

    Required for photosynthesis, respiration, and lignin formation in plant cell walls.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.3 - 5)

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

  • Nitrogen (N) (2.5 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.5 - 2)

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

  • Sulfur (S) (0.2 - 6)

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