Morphology, Chemistry and Classification of Two Red Soil Series

Abstract

Two major soil series of Coimbatore District viz.. Irugur series and raiature series were studied in detail for their morphology, physicochemical characteristics and clay minerolony. The parameters of the profiles revealed in-Situ development of the soil series from weathered gneissic rocks. The clay minerology was found to be dominated with kaolinite clay mineral. The calcareous nature of the Palathurai series was found to be due to the influence of parent material.
