Hilo soil is the official state soil of the state of Hawaii. These soils cover about 21,000 acres (85 km2) and are considered prime agricultural land.[1] The Hawaiian definition of the word “Hilo” is “first night after the new moon.” Also, the word is the Polynesian term for “Navigator,” and the name of a town, Hilo, Hawaii.
