Differentiate between Bangar and Khadar soil.

Bangar Soil

Khadar Soil

(i) Bangar is the old alluvium. In other words, Bangar is older than Khadar.

(ii) Bangar often contains kankar nodules with calcium carbonates in sub-soil.

(iii) Bangar is not renewed frequently. Hence, it is less fertile.

(iv) Bangar is found away from the river and higher than ground level.

(i) Khadar is the new alluvium. In other words, Khadar is younger in age.

(ii) Khadar is finer, more sandy and free from kankar nodules.

(iii) Khadar is renewed frequently and is more fertile.

(iv) Khadar is found near river channels in deltas and in flood plains.
