Last summer, I transplanted a tomato variety trial into a field not far from Dos Palos, an area where annual crops such as cotton, corn, tomatoes, and melons have historically dominated the agricultural landscape. The soils in this area typically are clay loams with elevated pH (> 7) as well as salinity (EC > 2). In particular, the soil at this specific location was classified as an Alros clay loam with a pH of 8 and an EC of 3.2. And this was the good part of the field!
The trial was long enough that it extended across the entire length of the field. At the south end, it terminated in an obvious alkali spot: the soil was much lighter, and the structure was that of powdered chalk. I briefly considered moving the remaining...
