Abstract

                                The productive capacity of any soil is directly related to its physical properties. The profile development, degree of erosion, eluviation, illuviation, pan formation, moisture retentivity and aeration can be examined from the point of view of crop growth by studying the physical characteristics of the profile. The laterite soil has advanced to a stage of weathering where the finer particles are reconstituted, with the formation of concretions and gravels rich in sesquioxides, which considerably alter the physical conditions governing water movement. In the present paper an attempt has been made to study in detail, the physical properties of East Coast laterite profile samples.
