Soil Classification

• In India, soil had been classified from the ancient period itself even though it was not as detail as the modern classifications.

• In the ancient period, the classification was based on only two things; whether the soil is fertile or sterile. Thus the classification were:

1. Urvara [fertile]
2. Ursara [ sterile]

• In the modern period, when men started to know about the various characteristics of soil they began to classify soil on the basis of texture, colour, moisture etc.

• When the Soil survey of India was established in 1956, they studied soils of India and their characteristics.

• The National Bureau of Soil Survey and the Land Use Planning, an institute under the control of Indian Council of Agriculture Research did a lot of studies on Indian soil.
