    Re-delineation, re-classification and mapping the soil series of Barangay Franza, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija [manuscript]
    (2019) Marjury Hazel A. Alfonso
    Soil samples from a total of 50 sample points were collected covering an area of 297.83 hectares devoted for agriculture within Barangay Franza Science City of Munoz. This was done in order to re-delineate the soil series in Science City of Munoz particularly in barangay Franza, to assess the suitability of crops that are most important in Nueva Ecija and in adjacent provinces, and to produce soil series and soil surface texture maps in a scale of 1:25,000. It was found that there are three soil series and five soil types within the agricultural areas in barangay Franza namely; Sibul Clay, Sibul Clay Loam, Umingan Clay Loam, San Fabian Clay and San Fabian Clay Loam. These areas were previously identified and declared as Maligaya clay loam. Also, it was found that the rice suitability of the agricultural areas in the arangay Franza is marginally suitable in San Fabian clay, San Fabian clay loam Umingan clay loam, Sibul clay and Sibul clay loam with major limitation in rooting condition. Limitation is rooting condition may be addressed through addition of Organic Matter to improve soil fertility. Corn is marginally suitable in Umingan clay loam, San Fabian clay loam, Sibul clay, and San Fabian clay due to its limitation in nutrient availability and rooting condition. No Maliagaya Clay loam was found in barangay Franza as previously published by BSWM using a map at a reconnaissance level of survey.
