Alluvial Soils. These are the most important soils from the agriculture point of view. The soils are sandy loam to clay loam with light grey colour to dark colour, structure is loose and more fertile. But the soils are low in NPK and humus. They are well supplied with lime; base exchange capacity is low, pH ranges from 7 to 8.

1998年1月1日 · Evolution of Alfisols in Punjab in genetically isolated pockets on concave landforms is a unique phenomenon. Our objective was to investigate the properties and genesis of these Alfisols. These soils are developed on alluvial parent materials of Pleistocene to Holocene age and are found alongside Inceptisols.

402 km2 of Punjab's total territory, predominantly characterized by alluvial soil. The majority of this reg. on exhibits the soil order of inceptisol, with a subgroup classification of ustic. The climatic condition of this region is characterized by a sub-humid environ.

2023年8月10日 · The soil types found in Punjab include alluvial, loam, sandy loam, and clayey soils. Alluvial soil, deposited by rivers, is the most dominant type and is known for its high fertility and excellent moisture retention capacity.
