Abstract

Four Ultisols from north-eastern region of India (Manipur and Meghalaya), for which no information is available have been classified according to Soil Taxonomy. The soils are acidic, of low base status and rich in organic matter in the surface horizons. CEC and ECEC of clay support the presence of kandic horizon in three pedons. The soils of Meghalaya appear to be more weathered than those of Manipur.
