answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Main characteristics of alluvial soil are:
  • Alluvial soil is formed due to the erosional, transportation and depositional activities of the three Himalayan rivers, the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra. The entire northern Indian Plains are made up of alluvial soil.  
  • The alluvial soil consists of various proportions of sand, silt and clay
  • Alluvial soils as a whole are very fertile. Mostly these soils contain adequate proportion of potash, phosphoric acid and lime which are ideal for the growth of sugarcane, paddy, wheat and other cereal and pulse crops.
  • On the basis of its age, alluvial soil can be classified into bangar and khadar soil. The Khadar soil is more fertile than the bangar soil.
