Types Of Soils
Soil types are classified according to many more factors. They are
classified on the basis of colour, depth, pH, productivity, texture and
process of formation.
Soil types according to depth are as follows:
1) Shallow Soil - Soil depth less than 22.5cm. Only shallow rooted crops
are grown in such soil, e.g. Paddy, Nagli.
2) Medium deep soil - Soil depth is 22.5 to 45cm. Crops with medium
deep roots are grown in this type of soil e.g. Sugar cane, Banana, Gram.
3) Deep soil - Soil depth is more than 45cm. Crops with long and deep
roots are grown in this type a soil e.g. Mango, coconut

 ।
Major soil types in India
The main types of soil in India are as follows:
1) Red soils
2) Laterites and lateritic soil
3) Black soil
4) Alluvial soils
5) Forest & hill soils
6) Peaty and marshy soils
Red soils
Red soils have two broad classes:
a) Red loam with cloddy structure and allow content of concretionary
materials; and

 ।
b) Red earths with loose, Permeable top soil and a high content of
secondary concretions. Generally these soils are light textured with porous
and friable structure and there is absence of lime Kankar and free
carbonates. They have neutral to acidic reaction and are deficient in
nitrogen humus, phosphoric acid and lime.
2) Laterites and Lateritic soils
These soils are red to reddish yellow in colour and low in N, P, K, lime and
magnesia. These soils are formed in-situ under conditions of high rainfall
with alternation dry and wet periods. On account of heavy rainfall there is
an excessive leaching of soil colloids and silica hence the soils are porous.
[ https://www.facebook.com/Exam.Affairs.EA ]
3) Black soils
These are mostly clay soils and form deep cracks during dry season. An
accumulation of lime is generally noticed of varying depths. They are
popularly known as “Black cotton soils” because of their dark brown colour
and suitability for growing cotton. These are also known as Indian
regurs.These soils are deficient in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and organic
matter but rich in calcium, potash and magnesium.
4) Alluvial soils
These soils occur along rivers and represent the soil materials that have
been deposited by the rivers duing flood. Usually they are very productive
soils but many are deficient in nitrogen, humus and phosphorus.
5) Forest and hill soils
These soils occur at high elevations as well as at low elevations, where the
rainfall is sufficient to support trees. These soils are very shallow, steep,
stony, and infertile for the production of field crops. However, they serve a

 ।
very useful purpose by supplying forest product such as timber and fuel.
6) Desert soils
These are mostly sandy soils that occur in the low rainfall track. They are
well supplied with soluble salts but are low in nitrogen and organic matter
and have a high pH value. These are quite productive. These are often
subjected to wind erosion.
7) Saline & Alkaline soils
These soils occur in areas having a little more rainfall than the areas of
desert soils. They show white incrustation of salts of calcium & Magnesium
and sodium on the surface. These are poor in drainage and are infertile.
8) Peaty and Marshy soils
These types of soils are found in Kerala, coastal track of Orissa,
Sunderban area of W.B. When the vegetation growing in such wet places
dies, it decomposes very slowly dues to excessive wetness of soils and
after several hundreds of year a layer of partly decayed organic matter
accumulates on the surface, giving rise to such peaty and marshy soils.
These are black coloured, heavy and highly acidic soils. When properly
drained and fertilized, these soils produce good crops of rice.
