Descripción
At the request of the management of Al lrrah deciduous horticulture station, a regional research station of AREA (Agricultural Research and Extension Authority of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation), a soil survey was carried out at Al Irrah research station during July and August 1996. In the history of Al lrrah Farm, it actually was the first soil survey describing the soil to a depth of 120 cm. It was also the first time that a detailed soil map for the whole farm was made. In 1984 a soil survey was carried out for the topsoil (0-30cm) only. This survey was meant as a preparation for irrigation experiments on wheat and barley. The conclusion of this survey was that the soils were not very saline, and some had calcareous horizons.
