Reaction normally ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid, but because of the addition of lime or irrigation water, it can range to neutral. The Btg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 or 2. The upper part of the Btg horizon has common to many, prominent yellowish red, red, or dark red iron accumulations. Brown and gray iron accumulations and depletions may be present throughout. Texture is clay, silty clay, silty clay loam in the upper part and ranges to silt loam in the lower part.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral.
In some pedons, a 2Bt horizon may be present at depths greater than 60 inches. It has hue of 5YR or 2.5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 3 through 6. Iron accumulations and depletions are in shades of brown and gray. Texture ranges from silt loam to clay. Reaction ranges from moderately acid to moderately alkaline.
