Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Characteristics. The texture of red soil varies from, sand to clay, the majority being loam. Their other characteristics include porous and friable structure, absence of lime, kankar and free carbonates, and small quantity of soluble.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red soils are rich in lime, humous and potash. 3. They are porous and have friable structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Characteristics of Red Soil: It is porous and has high percentage of iron oxide. It is loose and aerated.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to researchers, this red loam soil is formed by the decomposition of granite, gneiss charnockite, and diorite rocks. These soils are found to be cloddy, porous, and deficient in concretionary materials. These soils don’t have enough nitrogen, phosphorus, and various organic materials.

Detailed explanation-5: -A friable soil is characterized by an ease of fragmentation of undesirably large aggregates/clods and a difficulty in fragmentation of minor aggregates into undesirable small elements.
