what is the type of cultivation in alluvial soil
Answers
Answer:
Alluvial soil has the highest productivity with respect to other soils. It is present mostly along rivers and is carried by its streams during weathering of rocks. The soil is generally covered by tall grasses and forests, as well as a number of crops, such as rice, wheat, sugarcane, tobacco, maize, cotton, soybean, jute, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, etc. This soil has very soft strata with the lowest proportion of nitrogen and humus but with an adequate amount of phosphate. There is a wide variation in the amount of iron oxide and lime in different regions. Alluvial soil is one of the best soils, requiring the least water due to its high porosity. The consistency of alluvial soil ranges from drift sand and rich, loamy soil to silt clays. India is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of alluvial soil, which covers more than 46% of its total land area. To increase the crop quality one should use polymers, that can increase the fertility of the soil and can give good output. Potassium polyacrylate is a kind of polymer that can be used to increase the soil fertility and crop quality.
