Abstract

A detailed study of the soil of Hosur Cattle Farm was made. Five soil series, viz.. Mattagiri, Punapalle, Jeegur, Keronur and Simpson were established. their morphology described. Based on their morphology, physical and chemical characteristics, their genetic make up is explained. The variation in morphology among different series and other allied characteristics is due to topography and hydrological conditions, the parent material remaining uniform suggesting a catenary sequence. The soils have also been placed under the comprehensive system of soil classification.
