Detailed explanation-1: -The percolation rate of clay soil is very low which means that very less water seeps through the soil. This makes it most suitable for the cultivation of paddy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Human Use of Alluvial Soils For millennia, humans have used alluvial soils, especially those that are young and less developed, for the production of food. New alluvium rich in organic matter and nutrients provided fertile soils for agriculture. Alluvial soils have been the sites of the earliest agriculture.
