Question

Name three states having black soil and the crop which is mainly grown in it.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Black soils are black in colour.

These are also known as regur soils.

This soil is typical of the Deccan trap (Basalt) region spread over northwest Deccan Plateau. They cover the plateaus of Maharashtra, Saurashtra, Malwa, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh and extend in a south-east direction along the Godavari and the Krishna valleys.

Black soil is ideal for growing cotton.

Answer 2

Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are the three Indian states whose large areas of land have black soil. Out of these three states, Maharashtra has the highest concentration of black soil.

Cotton is the main crop which is grown in the areas with a concentration of black soil. That is why it is called "Black Cotton Soil".
