Borolls are characterized by clay accumulation in the subsoil, which can lead to poor drainage and aeration. This can hinder root development and ultimately lead to decreased yields in crops. The other suborders listed do not have this characteristic and therefore would be less likely to have a soil that performs poorly under both no-till and conventional management systems.
