Major characteristics of alluvial soil are:
1. It is formed by the deposition of the river load as it flows from its upper to its lower course.
2. It is light and porous, therefore easily tillable.
3. It is a fertile soil as it is rich in minerals, especially potash and lime.
4. It is suitable for the growth of a large variety of rabi and kharif crops.
5. Soils in the drier areas are more alkaline.
