The field morphology rating scale for evaluating pedological development according to Bilzi and Ciolkosz, (1977) was modified in the current study through suggestion of adding several important properties such as gravel contents for field morphology ratings and some chemical and physical properties such as salts, pH, calcium carbonate and gypsum for both Relative Horizon Distinctness (RHD) and Relative Profile Development (RPD). Adding a rating scale of diagnostic horizon for an average of relative profile development ratings (modified RPD) to compare between profiles development and evaluation of chrono sequence of soils developed in aridic moisture regime.Application of field morphology rating scale and suggested modification on some soils of Western Nile Delta- Egypt, achieved the chrono sequence, as well as, the diagnostic horizons of soils which belong to Aridisolsorderand have higher values of modified RPDthan soils which belong to Entisolsorders.So, these suggestions of rating scale with field morphological rating scale can be a useful tool for comparing pedological development of soils in arid climatic regime.
Keywords: Pedological development,Aridisols, Entisols, Western Nile Delta soils.
