Soil Series Maligaya
Surface Soil Type Clay
Family Name Fine, smectitic, isohyperthermic, Typic Calciaquert
Interpretation This is a fine loamy textured soil with high clay content, dominates by shrink swell clays that
cause deep wide cracks slickensides very sticky when wet and compact when dry. This soil has
high calcium calci saturation in its subsoil horizons
