Description The eight soil profiles of ber–growing orchards in different locations, viz., Bhurthla (P1), Zahidpur (P2), Boriya Kamalpur (P3), Lodhana exposed (P4), Khaliawas (P5), Jiwra (P6), Rajawas (P7), and Regional Research Station, Bawal (P8) of Rewari district were exposed, and their morphological, physicochemical characteristics were studied, and soils were classified. For this purpose, visual interpretation of IRS–P6 satellite imagery (FCC) at 1:50000 scale was collected to prepare the base map of the study area. Then soil samples in each horizon of the soil profile were collected after performing ground truth. The soil of surface horizons varied from coarsely weak single–grained to moderately weak granular, but the soil of subsurface horizons varied from coarsely structureless single–grained to medium weak subangular blocky in structure. Bulk density varied from 1.33–1.59 Mg m–3 and the soil water content varied from 5.89–9.11 at 0.03 MPa and 1.50–5.5 MPa at 1.5 MPa. The soil reaction of the pedons varied from neutral (pH 7.3) to alkaline (pH 9.23), and the soil was non–saline and soil organic carbon varied from 0.07–0.78%.  The exchangeable cations Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+ were 0.40–5.60, 0.20–3.12, 0.10– 1.56, and 0.01–0.10 cmol(P+) kg–1. The soils of the study area were sandy, mixed, Hyperthermic, Typic Ustipsamments for Pedon 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8; whereas Pedon 4 was sandy mixed (calcareous) hyperthermic Typic Ustipsamments and Pedon 5 was coarse sandy mixed (calcareous) hyperthermic Fluventic Ustipsamments.
