Coarse, medium, and fine organic
and inorganic mixed particles on the upper surface of the earth are called
‘soil’. When soil is removed from the upper surface of the soil, the layer
which is often obtained is called rock. ‘Soil Science’ (Pedology) is a major
branch of physical geography in which the scientific study of soil formation,
its characteristics, and its distribution on the surface are done.
The Indian Council of Agricultural
Research has divided the soil of India into 8 classes. The Central Soil
Conservation Board was established in 1953 for soil conservation. A research
center has been set up at Jodhpur in Rajasthan to study the problem of deserts.
The main types of soil found in India are as follows: – Alluvial Soil, Red
Soil, Black Soil, Laterite Soil, Saline and Alkaline Soil, Peaty and Other
Organic soil, Arid and Desert Soil, Forest Soil
Most of the area in India is found
in alluvial soil, which is also known as loamy soil. Alluvial soil is found in about
43.4 percent of the total area of India. This soil has been formed by the
deposition of rivers, but the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus is found less
in alluvial soil. The place where alluvial soil is found, it is very necessary
to apply urea fertilizer for the production of crops. Black soil is the second
most used soil in India after alluvial soil. That’s why if seen from the point
of view of the area, black soil has second place in India. Black soil is most
commonly used for agriculture in India in the state of Maharashtra and secondly
in the state of Gujarat. This soil is formed due to the formation of basalt
rock due to volcanic eruptions. Whereas in South India black soil is known as
‘Regur’ (Regur).
