Soils

The surface soil is of medium to moderate fine texture up to a depth of maximum 80 cm. Soil drainage is moderate at best while in several cases an impermeable hardpan renders the soil poorly drained. Land irrigated with saline groundwater causes low fertility and productivity. The mechanization index in the study region is high. Soil salinity occurs due to irrigation with saline groundwater, poor drainage and shallow groundwater table.
