ANNEX V

SOIL DESCRIPTIONS AND SOIL ANALYTICAL DATA

In this Annex, seven detailed descriptions from sou profile pits, and 69 short descriptions from auger hole observations are compiled. The location of the soil observations is shown on Map No. 3 "Land Capability and Hydrography." The profile pits are numbered from PI through P7, whereas the auger hole observations are numbered 1 through 69.

The soil descriptions are prepared following the FAO "Guidelines for Soil Descriptions" and the USDA "Soil Survey Manual." Colours are described using the descriptive terms and notations of Munsell Soil Color Charts. The classification of the soils is at the family level of the USDA Soil Taxonomy and according to the units of the FAO - Unesco Soil Map of the World.

The seven profile pit descriptions are followed by analytical results for specific chemical and physical properties which are presented by genetic horizon. The analyses were carried out by the laboratory of the Agricultural Chemistry Division} Ministry of Agriculture - Kingston. The following analytical methods have been used :-
