An investigation was carried out to characterize and classify the soils of Kheragarah tehsil of Agra, U.P., India. Nine representative pedons based on IRS-P6 LISS III satellite image of dry season (May, 2009) were chosen. All pedons were moderate to deep in depth, well to poor drained, slightly to strongly alkaline in soil reaction (7.73-9.75), slightly to highly saline (0.8- 11.0 dS m-1), low to medium in organic carbon (0.05-0.67%), CEC medium to high (17.91-30.35 cmol (p+) kg-1) , Calcium Carbonates ranged from (0-2.5%) in all samples of the soils except in the ravinous land where the content was very high (11- 20%). Regarding nutrients, the soils were low to medium in available N (37.0-364.00 kg ha- 1), low to high in available P (0.1-86.20 kg ha-1), medium to high in available K (134.0-459.0 kg ha-1). Further, the soils were adequate in available Fe and Mn but low to high Zn and Cu. All soils belong to Inceptisol order and Aquept, Ustept suborder. Six soil families were identified in the selected profiles. The actual productivity class of P6 was excellent and the remaining profiles were good except in P4 it was average. There is a scope to improve the productivity of all pedons as indicated by their respective coefficient of improvement (CI) values and in all cases the productivity classes are elevated to excellent except P4 to good. The potential productivity of P4 offers a little change due to limited scope for improvement
