Hi !

Laterite soils are those soils which are found in the areas which receive high rainfall and have very high temperature.

Due to high temperature , many micro organisms in the soil die.
This results in the less humus content in the soil.

Also , they have excess amount of iron in them .

Hence , they are not fertile soil and are not suitable for cultivation.
they can be used for cultivation if adequate amounts of fertilizers and manures are added to it .
