    Different forms of inorganic soil phosphorus (P) were characterized in relation to soil properties in four pedons belonging to order Inceptisols occurring in sub-tropical agro-climatic zone III of Bihar, falling under Indo-Gangetic alluvium region of Patna district. The soil of the Indo-Gangetic alluvium are clay loam to clayey in texture, neutral to alkaline in reaction (pH 7.3–8.0) having high electrical conductivity (EC) i.e. high amount of soluble salts in soil solution. The available P content in soils of the region was low to medium range (4.13 – 13.6 mg kg-1). The organic carbon (OC) content of the region was medium (0.20 0.65%). Based upon weighted mean (PWM) values maximum amount of P is in the form of calcium-P (Ca-P) [38.8 mg kg-1] while minimum amount of P is in the form of iron P (Fe-P) [5.16 mg kg-1] contributing 50.4 and 6.7% of total inorganic P content, respectively. The sequential extraction of inorganic soil P fractions reveal that the mean relative abundance follow the order: Ca-P (50.4) > Saloid-P (14.3%) > Occluded-P (11.8%) > Reductant-P (9.4%) > Al-P (8.2%) > Fe-P (6.7%). The PWM total P content suggested that the soils are fairly rich in P reserve ranging from 129.3 – 371.1 mg kg-1 with overall mean of 138.7 mg kg-1. The available P showed positive significant correlation with Fe-P (r = 0.58**), Ca-P (r = 0.58**) and total-P in the soil profile indicating their contribution in P availability in the area. The total P showed positive significant correlation with Al-P (r = 0.74**), Ca-P (r = 0.63**), and organic-P (r = 0.74**), indicating their dominance in contribution of P pool of the area. Maturity sequence derived from weathering index (WI) based upon inorganic soil P fractions is: P1 (most matured) > P2 > P4 > P3 (least matured). Hence, pedon-1 was found to be most matured while pedon-3 was least matured is good agreement with that obtained from soil classification indicating a close relationship between the former and the later. This study emphasized that the active form of P converts into saturated P-fractions in the soil leading to the increase in the availability of various P forms on addition of proper P-fertilizer. The inorganic soil P based weathering index is proved to be a very suitable and extremely useful index for predicting soil maturity of this region.
