which soil is considered ideal for growing cotten? explain
Answers
it is bcs black soil
1. it is made up of extremely fine clay material that are well known for the capacity to hold moisture which in turn help for the growth of cotton.
2. it contain important soil nutrients such as calcium carbonate ,magnesium ,Potash and lime.
3. during hot season the soil developed crack that help in a reaction of soil which in turn help in good growing of cotton.
4. so because of all this reason black soil is considered good for growing cotton

Black cotton is the best to grow the cotton.Black soils are highly argillaceous, very fine grained and dark, and contain a high proportion of calcium and magnesium carbonates. They are very tenacious of moisture and exceedingly sticky, when wet. Due to considerable contraction on drying large and deep cracks are formed. These soils contain abundant iron and fairly high quantities of lime, magnesia and alumina. Black soils are poor in nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter. The soils are generally rich in montmorillonitic and beidellitic group of clay minerals.
Black soils are most suitable for the cotton crop hence it is also known as black cotton soil. Besides cotton, the soil is suitable for the cultivation of crops like wheat, groundnut, chillies, tobacco and jowar.
Cotton is a rain-fed crop. Because of their high clay content, the black soil has wide crack during summers but they are resistant to wind and water erosion. They are highly moisture-retentive. This retention of moisture makes sure that the crop gets water for a long time without irrigation or rains. But one also needs to supply apt fertilizers. Cotton requires Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, and Boron. My uncle uses Mahadhan for increasing his yields.
