MONROE & MARRON RD. If^lPRCVEMENT'S -
SOIL SAMPLE RBC'D 5-9-90
Attached are results of agricultural suitability ard soil fertility analyses carrieca
out on the Monroe & Marron Rc5. improvements soil sample received via mail on the
above cjate. As intiicateca in your letter, the soil area samplecj will be hydrosee(3eca
and also plantec] to 15 gal. eucalyptus trees.
Soil Analysis
Soil reaction is slightly to moderately acid with lime content low anc3 boron
concentration belcw the toxic range. Hie salinity (ECe) level is low anc3 base<a on
the SAR value, soluble sodium is adequately balanced by calcium and magnesium. In
summary, the soil area represented by the sample received is non-saline and non-sodic
in nature.
Available nitrogen and phospliorus are low with potassium optimum. Calcium is
slightJ-y low but well above the deficient range with magnesium well supplied. It
should be noted that based on the half saturation data the soil area sampled is
fairly sandy in te.xture.
Recommenda tions
For areas to be hydroseeded, the following materials should be included in the
hydrcmulch form.ula:
AM'T PER ACRE
300 lbs. 16-20-0 ammonium phosphate
300 lbs. Ureaform 38-0-0
1000 lbs. finely ground calcium carbonate
or oyster shell lime
If the CcaciLim carbonate or oyster shell lime recaraiieixled are not available,
dolaiiitic lime could be substituted.

Tlie backfill aiix for use around the root ball of container grown trees and shrubs
should be prepared as follows:
6 parts by volum.e on-site soil
4 parts by volujne nitrogen stabilized
organic anendment
1 lb. 16-20-0 per cu. yd. of mix
10 lbs. calcium carbonate or oyster
shell limie per cu. yd. of mix
2 lbs. iron stiLfate per cu. yd. of mix
The above materials should be thoroughly blended at a central on-site location prior
to use for backfill purposes. Mso, the iron sulfate should not contact cement
surfaces since severe staining could cccur.
While the Ureaform is a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and since the soil appears
to be sandy in texture and substantial leaching of nitrogen could cx;cur, it m.ay be
necessary to apply a dry fertilizer during the establishnent period. If this is the
case, the 16-20-0 should be uniformly broadcast over dry soil at the rate of 6 lbs.
per 1,000 sq. ft. and followed vyith a normal irrigation at each fertilizing period;.
Should there be any questions, please call.
