Red soil is a type of soil that develops in a warm, temperate, moist climate having a thin organic layer. Red soil gets its color from the iron found in its composition in a crystallized form. Red soil develops on crystalline igneous rocks in areas of low rainfall in the eastern and southern part of the Deccan Plateau. These soils form the third largest group of soils in India. The soil takes on a yellow color when it is hydrated. These soils are generally found in the Western Ghats, Odisha, and Chattisgarh.

Composition: Rich in iron, poor in lime, phosphorous, calcium and nitrogen
Formation: Decomposition of granite, gneiss and metamorphic rocks
Characteristics: Not water retentive. When fertilizers are added, soil become productive
Distribution: Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka
Crops: Bajra, maize, pulses, potatoes, fruits
Along the piedmont zone of the Western Ghat, a long stretch of the area is occupied by red loamy soil. Yellow and red soils are also found in parts of Orissa and Chattisgarh and in the southern parts of the middle Ganga plain. The soil develops a reddish color due to a wide diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks. It looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form. The fine-grained red and yellow soils are normally fertile, whereas coarse-grained soils found in dry upland areas are poor in fertility. Red soil in India has a lack of nitrogenous material, phosphoric acid, organic matter but the red soil id in rich in iron. The clay form of red soil is nutrient-rich and viable for forestation. They can produce excellent crops like cotton, jowar, linseed, fruits, millets, and potatoes. Red soil actually has a very low level of humus and require fertilizers when used for farming.
