Ferralsols and Ultisols, the majority of P is associated with or precipitated by secondary soil minerals e.g.
The two main soil types in Emusutswi are humic nitosols and
ferralsols and Nyabeda and Nyalgunga have
ferralsols and acrisols (Gachene and Kimaru, 2003).
The soil was classified as a clay loam
Ferralsols (FAO, 1998).

In Nova Olinda do Norte, the dominant vegetation is classified as evergreen lowland tropical moist forest and the predominant soils are Xanthic
Ferralsols (allic yellow latosol in the Brazilian system), which are heavily weathered, acidic, and very poor in nutrients such as P, Ca, and K.
Ferralsols are the predominant soil type, in which Xanthic
Ferralsols dominate the 1 000-1 800 m altitudinal zones, and Rhodic
Ferralsols are dominant below 1 000 m altitudinal zones (Tran 1991, Vo et al.
The site is on gentle slope (<10%); the soils are deep, well-drained, mostly stone-free, and high in
ferralsols, acrisols, and nitosols, with site index of 20 m at 25 years for Pinus kesiya [16].
Soil types include mostly Humic Acrisols and Plinthic
Ferralsols (accounting for around 80% of the total area), Rhodic
Ferralsols, Lithic Leptosols, and Eutric Fluvisols.
