| 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. | ||||
