Abstract: ALVAREZ, KAREEN M. Soil Characterization of Kaong Areas in Selected Barangays of Indang, Cavite. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2005. Adviser: Dr. Lilibeth Novicio. This study aimed to describe and characterize the soil in selected areas of Indang, Cavite where most Kaong trees grow. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) describe the soil profile of soils were most Kaong trees grow; (2) determine the physical properties of the soils; (3) determine the chemical properties of the soil; (4) recommend proper soil management for areas grown to Kaong trees. Description of the soil profiles and collection of soil samples were conducted in two barangays of Indang, Cavite namely Kayquit and Bancod. Soil depth, soil color, soil texture, soil structure, bulk density, porosity, consistency and plasticity, pH, presence of organic matter, available phosphorous, mineralizable nitrogen and potassium were analyzed at soils and water laboratory of College of Agriculture Forestry, Environment and Natural Resources. The soils of the two study sites (Kayquit and Bancod) have deep soil profiles and good physical characteristics. The fertility status of the soil is good as evidenced by high organic matter content, mineralizable Nitrogen, sufficient phosphorus, and potassium. However, the soil is prone to soil erosion due to its rolling/undulating topography. Soil samples have sufficient potassium; thus, no K fertilization was recommended. Soil samples have small amounts of phosphorous, thus some phosphate fertilizers may be added to avoid P depletion. The soil samples have good organic matter content and pH is favorable to the growth of Kaong.
