Alluvial soil is also referred to as riverine soil, since it is found in river basins and forms as rivers & streams slow down their velocity.
Explanation:
- Alluvial soils are the soils formed by deposition of river water sediments. Alluvial soils are fertile and therefore contribute significantly to agricultural production. This soil has the lowest nitrogen proportion & humus strata, but a sufficient phosphate amount.
- Alluvial soil, owing to its increased porosity, is one of the finest soils, needing the least water. Alluvial soil consistency varies from drift sand, rich loamy soil, to silt clay. India is one of the world's richest nations with regard to alluvial soil, with the soil occupying more than 46 per cent of the overall land area
- Hence vast variety of crops such as rice, sugarcane, wheat, maize, tobacco, soybean, cotton, oilseeds, jute, fruits, vegetables, among others grow well in riverine soil
