Ten representative pedons occurring on six landforms in Sirohi district were studied for their morphological, physical and chemical properties. The soils on steeply sloping side slope were very shallow, dark brown in colour, gravelly sandy loam with fine, weak sub angular blocky structure. The water holding capacity, water retention at 0.03 and 1.5 MPa and available water content was higher in the soils of nearly level pediment and plain as compared to other landforms. Relatively higher value of pH (8.8-9.3), E.C. (0.58-2.18 dSm-1) and calcium carbonate (95.2-132.3 g kg-1) were observed in the soils of the undulating pediment (P3) as compared to the soils on gently sloping pediment (P5). The soils of steeply sloping side slope (P1) and nearly level to very gently sloping pediment (P6) have been classified as Loamy-skeletal and Loamy Lithic Ustorthents respectively, and soils of gently sloping pediment (P5) as Loamy Lithic Haplutepts at sub-group level. Soils of undulating pediment (P3), nearly to very gently sloping pediment (P7), nearly level pediment and nearly level plain (P9 and P10) have been grouped as Fine-loamy Typic Haplustepts and soils of undulating pediment (P2) as Coarse-loamy Typic Haplustepts.
