The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological, physical, and chemical characteristics of soils occurring in the North Farm of Karunya Campus, located in the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu, within the Coimbatore Plateau physiographic region. Three representative soil profiles were excavated and analysed to assess soil development, classification, and agricultural suitability. The study area is underlain by deep Quaternary alluvium deposits exceeding 30 meters, with soils found on gently sloping terrain (1–3%). Five distinct horizons were identified in the profiles: Ap, Bw, Bwk1, Bwk2, and Bwk3. The presence of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) nodules in the Bwk horizons confirmed secondary carbonate accumulation. The soil texture was predominantly sandy clay loam, with increasing clay and silt content at depth. The soil structure ranged from angular and subangular blocky in the surface layers to massive and single-grain in the deeper horizons. The soils were well-drained, slightly to moderately alkaline (pH 7.9–9.1), and non-saline (EC < 1 dS m^-1). The total organic carbon (TOC) content was higher in the surface layer and decreased gradually with depth. Available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were also concentrated in the surface horizon. Cation exchange capacity ranged from 10.7 to 18.3 cmol (P⁺) kg^-1, and base saturation increased with depth. The soils were classified as fine-loamy, mixed, isohyperthermic, Typic Calciustepts (Inceptisols) according to the USDA Soil Taxonomy, and as Calcic Cambisol (Loamic) based on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources. The soils were rated as Class II under the Land Capability Classification (LCC), indicating cultivable land with minor limitations, and as S2 under the Land Suitability Classification (LSC), reflecting moderate constraints for crop production. The Storie index value ranged between 59 and 66%, with a mean of 62.2%, placing the soil in the “good” category, which highlights its potential for productive agriculture with appropriate management interventions.
