Explanation:

alluvial soil

This property of alluvial soil is important in farming different types of grasses, rice, potatoes, wheat and other food crops.

laterite soil

It is used a lot for making bricks for building. Laterite is unfavourable for agriculture. Laterite soils lack fertility due to intensive leaching. However, if manured and irrigated, some laterite soils are suitable for growing plantation crops (tea, coffee, rubber,…) or for grazing.

Answer:

Alluvial soil :Alluvium is loose, unconsolidated soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.

Laterite soil: Laterite is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock.
