Abstract
The studied area of New Burg El-Arab city is located south west of Alexandria between King Maryut and El-Hammam. The soils under consideration belong to physiographic unit as follows:
I. Order beach ridge soils which have:
a) Order beach ridge predominantly shallow over rock which classify according USDA 2014 as:
- Lithic Haplocalcids, loamy skeletal, mixed, thermic.
b) Order beach ridge predominantly very shallow over subsoil which appear three taxonomic units as follows:
- Typic Haplocalcids, fine loamy, mixed, thermic.
- Typic Haplocalcids, coarse loamy, mixed, thermic.
- Typic Haplocalcids, clayey, mixed, thermic.
c) Complex (a) and (b): the representative profile for deep soils classify as follows:
- Typic Haplocalcids, fine loamy, mixed, thermic.
II. Soils of the plain: A vast plain just behind the ridges and emphasize to two subunits:
D) Marine lacustrine shallow plains, which have the following taxonomic class:
- Lithic Haplocalcids, fine loamy, mixed, thermic.
F) Marine lacustrine very deep plains which appear the soil classification as follows:
- Typic Haplocalcids, clayey, mixed, thermic.
III. Windblown soils: These soils are corresponding to taxonomy class as follows:
- Typic Haplocalcids, sandy, mixed, thermic.
Data of land evaluation reval to the limitation of suitability following trend.
Soil depth > Calcium carbonate contents > Texture > Wetness > Salinity & alkalinity > Gypsum content > Topography.
Evaluation of irrigation water appeared that the sample has no problem in generally.
