The soils of two physiographic regions i.e. Aravali mountain ranges
and Malwa plateau consisting of four landforms viz. hill, pediment,
valley and plain were selected, in order to work out relationship
between soil and landforms and its effect on effective use of
available resources. Total eight pedons were examined in the field
and investigated in the laboratory using standard laboratory
procedures.Concentration of exchangeable bases was in order of
Ca2+>Mg2+>K+>Na+ in all the pedons soils. Micaceous
chlorites, chlorites, montmorillonite, smectite and quartz were
dominant clay minerals of hills except quartz in hills of Malwa
plateau. Smectite and montmorillonite mineral were present in
almost all pedon, but vermiculite mineral was found only in plains
of malwa plateau. The soils of all pedons were found deficient in
available nitrogen and phosphorus while adequate in available
potassium. The DTPA extractable micronutrients like iron, manganese
and copper were found sufficient and zinc was deficient in soils of
both transect.The soils of all pedons were classified in Entisols,
Inceptisols and Vertisols orders.Presently the land fullfil human
& animal requirements.
