Ras ~ unnamed silty clay loam, Saline. 0 to 3 percent slop ea ~ This unit ie poorly suited Eor irrigated trope. The main limitation ie ealin ity. Moat areas will need extensive re [lama[ ion before crops tan be grown. A ~ combination of leaching and drainage will be required for reclamation. Salinity can be reduced by leaching ~ salts Erom the soil ue ing irrigation water that ie low In content of salts. T11e drainage tan be used to lower the water table if a suitable outlet ie available. Intensive ma nagemen[ ie required to reduce ~ the salinity and maintain soil productivity. This unit consists of ve r/ deep, well drained soils on toe elopes. These voile formed in re aiduum and alluvium derived dominantly Erom Ma ncoe shale.
