The profiles and present chemical and physical characteristics of clay as well as sandy and shell soils. Although Pseudomonas solanacearum irrespective of soil type, has achieved notoriety as the causal agent of bacterial wilt, there is convincing evidence that plants never show the wilt disease when cultivated in the ridge landscape with sea shell deposits. Some aspects of sandy and clay soils, known for severe outbreaks of the wilt, are compared with the sea shell containing soils. From the results obtained so far, large differences in texture, chemical and physical characteristics are found among these soil types.
