Description :
According to the FAO legend the Red Earths in the area investigated belong to the Ferric Acrisols and the Yellow Earths to the Dystric Cambisols. It appears that the soil colour and the Si O2 : Al2O3 molar ratio of the clay fraction used as criteria for soil systematics cannot sufficiently indicate the degree of weathering, soil genesis and site properties.
