Two broad divisions are distinguished in Bihar: (i) the alluvium found north of the Ganges, and (ii) the alluvium found south of the Ganges. The soils in the first group are clayey, loam to sandy loam, neutral to alkaline, rich in potash, and deficient in P₂O₅, while those in the second group are heavier and finer in texture, with higher K₂O and P₂O₅ contents, and of acidic pH in the southernmost parts.
