Re-delineation, re-classification and mapping the soil series of Barangay Balante, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija [manuscript]
(2019) Paul Adrian, C. Batas
The agricultural areas of Barangay Balante was re-delineated using ArcGIS 10.3.1 and Garmin (Montana 650) GPS. These devise were used to generate and locate the sampling points for soil samples collection. Soils were collected using soil probe with the depth of 0-20 cm and 30-50 cm. The collected soil samples were analyzed in laboratory for the texture, soil series and soil type determination. Using the Simplified Keys to Soil Series Nueva Ecija of PhilRice the current soil series and soil type of Barangay Balante were re-classified and re-validated. It was found that there are four soil series and six soil types in Barangay Balante compared to the previous soil series and soil types reported by BSWM in 2010. BSWM reported only Maligaya clay loam for Barangay Balante. Barangay Balante was found to be marginally suitable for rice, phaseolus bean and corn due to its limitation in rooting condition.
