No references found | Ukulinga A second field experiment was set up during the second week of October 1999 at Ukulinga Farm, near Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal on a shallow, poorly drained soil underlain by soft plinthite (Table 1), classified as Westleigh form, Helena family (Soil Classification Working Group 1991), Typic Plinthaquept (Soil Survey Staff 1998), and Hydrosol (Isbell 1996). The soils were mostly from the Bassendean Association and all consisted of litter on an organic sandy topsoil overlying either deep grey or yellow sands, or in two cases a grey clay loam E horizon (duplex soils) over plinthite (McArthur 1991) with an Australian Soil Classification (Isbell 1996) of Podosols. Either above this or directly on top of the pallid zone, there is a mottled plinthite zone with strongly platey structure. |
