Bungor Series
Soil Developed on shale; brownish yellow (10YR 6/6, 6/8) to yellowish brown (10YR 5/4, 5/6, 5/8), fine sandy clay; weak to moderate, fine to medium subangular blocky; friable; deep; well drained; occurs on undulating to steep terrains; cation exchange capacity <5 cmol(+) per kg soil; low base saturation; argillic diagnostic horizon.
Occurrence
Common soils occur in many part of Peninsular Malaysia.
