Normally, the soils which are found at the place of their origin, known as remaining soils, are poorer than those which have been carried from the place of their origin. The transported soils are rich and have a variety of minerals in them. The transported soils are: (a) lome, transported by wind (b) alluvial, transported by river water (c) glacial, transported by glaciers.
The fertility of the soils decreases with constant cultivation. Soil becomes unproductive if the fertility is not changed. This can be achieved by leaving the land fallow, by rotation of crop and by use of manures and fertilizers.
Soil erosion and water logging have become major problems with soils as such these should be blocked by adopting the line cultivation, terrace farming, constructing dams and dykes in this paper.
