The topography of Jharkhand state of India is generally undulating, with alfisols as major soil type. It is characterized by having light textured soil and high rate of soil erosion (Gulati and Rai, 2014). The soils are generally acidic in reaction with low activity of clay and rich in hydrated oxides of Iron and Aluminium leading to Phosphate fixation.

Abstract


The topography of Jharkhand state of India is generally undulating, with alfisols as major soil type. It is characterized by having light textured soil and high rate of soil erosion (Gulati and Rai, 2014). The soils are generally acidic in reaction with low activity of clay and rich in hydrated oxides of Iron and Aluminium leading to Phosphate fixation.
