The districts of Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Barmer, Jalor, Jodhpur, Ganganagar, Sirohi, Jhunjhunu, Pali and Sikar have alkaline and saline soils with a calcareous base. There is some nitrate concentration in the soil of these regions. TheJaisalmer region has Aeolian sand that varies from sandy to sandy loam. In fact Jaisalmer is renowned for its sandstone. Due to lack of water availability vegetation comprises of only thorny bush and cactuses. There is only seasonal vegetation such as a few grass species, shrubs and dwarf trees.
The whole district of Ganganagar North western plains consists of alluvial and Aeolian soil as it is flooded by the Ghaggar River.
The four districts of Dausa, Tonk, Jaipur and Ajmer are watered by river Banas and its tributaries and thus the fertile soil sustains mixed xerophytic and mesophytic vegetation.
The flood plains of Rajasthan consist of the districts of Bharatpur, Alwar and Dhaulpur and the northern region of Sawai Madhopur which are flooded by the river Ghambhiri and Banganga. Thus this region is the repository of alluvial, clay and loamy soil.
The Bhilwara district and the major parts of Udaipur district, Chittaurgarh district, Sirohi district and the tract of Aravali Hills forms a part of inter-mountain plateau an consists of dark- lava soils. Major cash crops like cotton and sugarcane are grown in this black soil region. Other food crops are also grown
The Hadauti plateau includes the districts of Baran, Bundi, Jhalawar and Kota and so on that have black soil. This region is fertile owing to the presence of the Chambal River and its distributaries and cotton,sugarcane and opium are grown.
Some districts of Rajasthan such as Dungarpur, Banswara, Udaipur, Bhilwara and Chittaurgarh have red and yellowish soils.
