LAND AND SOIL CAPABILITY OF ALIAGALAND CAPABILITY / SOIL CAPABILITY
Being an agricultural-based economy, land/soil is susceptible to farming. The majority of the populations of Aliaga depend on agriculture as their means of livelihood. A total of 7,504.81 hectare or 73.12% of the total land area of the municipality is devoted to agriculture, 7,041.81 hectare or 68.61% is suitable for paddy rice irrigated, mono cropping and the remaining 463.00 0r 4.5% is suitable for paddy rice-irrigated, multiple cropping. Double cropping is regularly practiced by farmers with irrigated farm land. The first crop (regular) of palay which is usually planted from May to October occupies a wider area than second cropping of palay which is usually planted from November to April. Inter-cropping of vegetable is also practiced by some rice farmers with insufficient irrigation and water supply. Eggplant, tomatoes and other are usually intercropped with palay. Crop rotation is sometimes applied such as amargoso, mongo, beans, corn and other are planted during dry season and palay planted during rainy season. This practice is properly applied, improves the soil condition of the farm including soil fertility, soil texture and water holding capacity of soil. Rice production in the municipality has a surplus, however, considering Aliaga as an agricultural municipality, there is still a need for more functional irrigation canal. The second need for agricultural development is the diversification of crops. GENERAL AND URBAN LAND USE: AGRICULTURAL LAND USE: |
