The Lugert series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in alluvium of Recent age. These soils are on nearly level flood plains in the Central Rolling Red Plains (MLRA 78C). Slopes range from 0 to 1 percent. Mean annual precipitation is 25 inches. Mean annual temperature is 62 degrees F.

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, thermic Fluventic Haplustolls

 

Solum thickness is 20 to more than 40 inches. Depth to secondary carbonates ranges from 15 to 36 inches.

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Mainly cultivated to small grains, alfalfa, grain sorghum, cotton, and tame pasture. Native vegetation is tall grasses with some scattered hardwood bottomland trees.
