Laterite soil has less humus content because it is formed in a region of high temperature so decomposers like bacteria 's and microorganisms get destroyed. The soil is formed due to intensive leaching and the nutrients are also washed away by heavy rain.

______________________________

♣️ Laterite soil is formed by leaching (or desilication ) in which the nutrients or minerals get percolated down below the soil and hence , this makes the top layer infertile resulting in low humus content .

♟ This soil doesn't supports plant growth (lack of mineral contents )
