Castor Seed Oil

Listing ID #3670660

Castor crop can be grown on a wide range of soils provided they are fairly deep and well drained. Heavy clays, with poor drainage, and marshy soils are unsuitable. The highly suitable soils for castor are deep, moderately fertile, with slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0 to 6.5), well drained, sandy loams. Excessively fertile soils are not desirable, as they favor excessive vegetative growth at the expense of seed yield.
