Abstract

The importance of alluvial soils has been discussed in the previous paper (Premanathan and Durairaj, 1963). Studies of the alluvial soils during soil surveys as in the Godavari, Krishna and Tanjore deltas have been done in the composite Madras State. Although considerable work has been done on these soils in our Stale, a detailed study on the properties of the major alluviums has not so far been made. The chemical properties of these soils are presented in this paper.
