Question

Which crop is best suited for cultivation in clayey soils?

Answer 1

Paddy is best suitable for cultivation in clayey soils.

Clayey soil may have much organic matter in them.

They are made up of very small clay particles.

Hence, the water retentivity in this type of soil is quite high.

Wet clay soil can be very sticky and like a glue and has small amounts of air.

The clay size in this type of soil can be of the order of 0.2mm.

This type of soil is full of organic matter and that can be very suitable for paddy.
