    (i) Because the alluvial soil is made up of fine particles. The soil is very fertile because it is rich in mineral nutrients like potash and lime.
    (ii) The soil is sticky, and difficult to work unless tilled immediately after the first rain.
    (iii) Because it does not require much moisture.
    (iv) Because of the dry climate and absence of vegetation.
    (v) Because it is deficient in phosphorus, nitrogen, lime and humus.
