Soil texture like sandy loam, silty sand etc.
Magesh,
Though you can make some generalizations about texture (e.g. Ultisols and oxisols are predominantly made of clay) more information is needed than just the taxonomic classification to come to correct conclusions
Well you have to perform a particle size distribution to determine the texture of a given soil.
Based on soil order and sub order we can predict to some extent what would be the the soil texture. Qualitative way of texture classification may not help in further studies / recommendations correctly.
For The vertisols (black cotton soils) mainly do have higher clay content, but experimentally silt contents are also found higher. So can we generalize the texture only by the names?
BETTER YOU CONSULT USDA FIELD MANUAL , WHICH IS AVAILABLE ONLINE & NBSS AND LUP EXPERTS TO GET MORE PRECISE OPINION .GOOD LUCK
