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.Cotton Producing States are Punjab ,Gujarat , Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh , Telangana ,Haryana , Karnataka ,Madhya Pradesh ,Rajasthan ,Tamilnadu ,Orissa
