Three representative pedons (P1, P2 and P3) of vegetable-growing soils in coastal Odisha were
characterized and classified to understand the intrinsic pedogenic characteristics. Soil of P1 is very deep welldrained and has brown to dark reddish brown matrix, loamy A horizons to clay, argillic B horizons, slightly acidic (pH 5.5) to neutral (pH 6.9), non-saline, low organic carbon (OC), carbon exchange capacity (CEC) and base saturation status. Soil of P2 is moderately deep with somewhat poorly drained and dark yellowish brown to brown, sand to sandy clay loam in texture, neutral (pH 7.6) to moderately alkaline (pH 9.2) in reaction, non-saline, low OC, CEC and base saturation status. P3 soil is deep with moderately well drained, very dark grayish brown to dark grayish brown and entire profile is clay in texture, neutral to moderately alkaline (7.2 to 8.3) in reaction, non-saline, medium to low in OC content (0.63 to 0.23%) and CEC varied from 29.5 to 37.1 cmol (p + ) (kg - 1) and base saturation from 76 to 92%. Among the exchangeable cations, calcium was found to be high in all soils, followed by magnesium, sodium and potassium. The soils were classified as Typic Paleustalfs (P1), Typic Haplustepts (P2) and Typic Endoaquerts (P3) sub-group level based on soil characteristics.
