a) lateritic soil:- The lateritic soil is the pre-dominant soil type, which covers almost the entire midland areas of the Kottayam district. The surface soil is mostly reddish brown to yellowish red in colour and the texture ranges from gravelly loam to gravelly clay loam. Heavy rainfall and high temperature prevalent in the area are conducive to the process of formation of this soil type. It is well drained and the presence of organic content is low. This soil is poor in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. It is acidic in nature with a pH value ranging from 5.0 to 6.2. b) Riverine alluvium: -The occurrence of these soils is restricted along the river courses and their tributaries. They show wide variation in their physico-chemical properties depending on the nature of the alluvium that is deposited and the characteristics of the catchments area drained by the river. They are very deep soils with surface textures ranging from sandy loam to clay loam. These soils are characterised by moderate amount of organic matter, nitrogen and potassium. Presence of mica flakes has been observed in the alluvial soils. c) Brown hydromorphic soil:- These soils are mostly confined to valley bottoms between undulating topography in the midland and in low-lying areas. They have been formed as a result of transportation and sedimentation of material from adjoining hill slopes and also through deposition by local streams. These soils are very deep and brownish in colour and exhibiting wide variation in physico-chemical properties and morphological features. The surface soil texture varies from sandy loam to clay. Their pH value ranges between 5.2 and 6.4 and are acidic in nature. d) Forest loam: - These soils are the products of weathering of crystalline rocks under forest cover. They are occurring in the eastern hilly areas. These are dark reddish brown to black in colour. The surface texture varies from loam to silt loam. They are characterised by a surface layer very rich in organic matter. Generally they are acidic, rich in nitrogen and their pH ranging from 5.5 to 6.3. (Source: District Survey Report, Department of Mining & Geology, Govt. of Kerala )

4.(vii) CLIMATIC DATA The normal rainfall of the district is 2931 mm based on 1901-1999 data and the major contribution of rainfall is during South West monsoon followed by the North East monsoon. The analysis of rainfall data reveals that the distribution of rainfall increases from west to east. The highest rainfall recorded at Pala while the lowest recorded at Ettumanur. The annual rainfall ranges from 2435.9 to 3755.2 mm and the average annual rainfall of the district is 3169.28 mm .
