Management considerations
Deep sandy soils generally have poor plant water holding capacity and poor nutrient holding capacity. The low level of bonding between soil particles makes this soil prone to wind, sheet and rill erosion. Mottled subsoils are common and are an indication of periodic waterlogging. Improved drainage is required to reduce waterlogging while erosion of the topsoil may be modified by the amount of organic matter in the profile as increased organic matter bonds soil particles together.
