What is the problem (soil)?
16
What is the problem (soil)?
-Poor SoilsPoor soils refer to low potential soil productivity.Potential soil productivity is the maximum
productivity shown by soil that is optimum in factors for biological production, including drainage, inclination conditions, and their combination
-Problem SoilsThere are a variety of soils; some soils have
serious problems when utilized.These soils are less productive and unsuitable even
for the growth of crops because of the presence of extremely specific chemical, physical and biological properties.
Typical problem soils are peat soil, saline soils alkaline soils and acid sulfate soils.
Globally, Vertisol, Planosol, heavy clay alluvial soil, as well as strong weathering soil in the tropical zone are also considered to be problem soils.

Acid Sulfate SoilsCase of Problem Soils
Acid sulfate soils are covered 43.6% of Africa, 38.2% of Southeast Asia and 16.6% of South Asia. The area of acid sulfate soils reaches about 12 million hectares worldwide, most of which is located in tropical mangroves in Africa and Southeast Asia. The acid sulfate soils zone in Southeast Asia is considered to be potential farmland,but is not farmed because of its strongacidity.
Acid sulfate soils oxidizes when sulfate oxides in the soil are supplied oxygen due to land draining, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid and subsequent strong acidification of the soil to pH 3 or lower. 23
Saline soils are distributed in the semi-arid, arid, coastal and poor-draining zones in the world.
Definition by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA):-Electric Conductivity (ECsat; saturated extract) ≧ 4 mS/cm-Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) < 15%-pH < 8.5
Saline SoilsCase of Problem Soils
24
VertisolsCase of Problem Soils
Black Cotton Soil (Africa and India), Regur (India), Gray and Brown Soils of Heavy Texture (Australia) etc.
This requires material with a high shrink-swell potential plus alternate wetting and drying.
Vertisols are very slowly permeable, once the cracks swell shut, and slow infiltration is a problem in irrigation.
They have a low plant-available water-holding capacity, but a relatively high total water-holding capacity. Because of their low permeability, once they havewet-up, Vertisols are good for paddy (wet) rice culture, because entrapped (diked) water does not leak away. 25

What is “ASS”?
40
Acid Sulfate Soil
Characteristics
(1) Strong acidity (pH3)
(2) Oxidation of deposition below water surface or mud (local lake or sea)
(3) These are called “Acid Sulfate Soil”(ASS) by origin material
(4) There is easy to be ASS in the Geologic period
41
Mangrove area
※ ASS in the world is distributed around 12,000,000ha.
※ Most of ASS area is in Mangrove area.
※ ASS area in Southeast Asia is “Potential farmland”.

Mechanism of A.S.S.
43
Why is “A.S.S.”
Generation of Acid Soil has two process.
(1)Accumulation process of sulfide
(2) Sulfuric acid process by oxidation.→Physical, Chemical
and Biological process
