Detailed explanation-1: -Laterite soil, which is rich in calcium and potash, is suitable for growing cotton. These soils were created as a result of the lava that was distributed across a sizable region during the Deccan Plateau’s volcanic activity weathering. Black soil’s clayey characteristics make it ideal for growing cotton crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wheat, Groundnut and cotton are few of the crops which require black soil for their growth. Cotton requires highly fertile black soil for maximum production. Groundnuts require moderate black sand mixed soils for growth. Wheat is grown in black and loamy soils.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because of their high fertility and retentivity of moisture, the black soil is widely used for producing several important crops. Some of the major crops grown on the black soils are cotton, wheat, jowar, linseed, castor, sunflower and millets.
