Laterite Soils – These soils are not very fertile, and are used in growing cotton, growing rice, growing wheat, growing pulses, growing tea, growing coffee, growing rubber, growing coconut and growing cashews. Owing to the presence of large quantities of iron, these soils are often used to make bricks.
Arid Soils – Any drought- and saline-tolerant crops like wheat, cotton, corn (maize), millets, pulses, and barley can grow.
