Black soil is ideal for growing cotton.
Explanation:
Black soils are also referred to as black cotton soils because cotton is the most important crop grown in these soils.
- These soils were formed as a result of the solidification of lava spread over large areas during volcanic activity in the Deccan Plateau, thousands of years ago.
- Cotton cultivation requires a high level of moisture retention.
- Black soils are very finely grained and dark, contain a high proportion of calcium and magnesium carbonate and are highly sediments.
- When wet, they are very resistant to moisture and extremely sticky.
- Black soils, however, are poor in nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter.
