Fifteen soil profiles representing the different soils of

The high levels were Typic Haplotorrerts, Vertic Torrifluvets, Typic
Torrifluvents, and Typic Torripsamments. Tentative Soil Series in
Monofia soils were performed as follows: Kafr El-Sharfa, El-Barina,
Kors Shubra, Bshamy, Sakiat and Kofor El-Raml series
On the other hand the low taxonomic levels were; Fine
montmorillonitic, thermic, typic Haplotorrerts.
Fine loamy, montmorillonitic , Thermic, Vertic Torriflurents.
Fine loamy, mixed, thermic, Typic Torrifluvents, and Sandy,
Siliceous, theronic, Typic Torripsamments the soils of Kafr ElSharafa soil Series were the majority in duded most soils in ElManofia Governorate followed by Kors soil Series, wherease the
