Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The alluvial soil is formed by rivers depositing sediments as they flow through an area. The rivers continuously erode these deposited sediments. This soil is extremely fertile and rich in potash, lime, and phosphoric acid, which make it suitable for cultivation. Paddy, sugarcane, wheat, and other cereal crops are cultivated in this region. The soil can be classified into old alluvium (Bhangar) and new alluvium (Khadar). The new alluvium, khadar, is more fertile as the rivers continuously replenish it.
