Black soils, locally called regor or black cotton soils, and internationally known as 'tropical black earths' or 'tropical chernozems' have been developed by the weathering of the Deccan lava in majorparts of Maharashtra, western MadhyaPrades (Hoshangabad, Narsinghpur, Damoh, Jabalpur, Raisen and Shahdol districts), Gujarat (Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Kheda, Sabarkantha and Dang districts), Andhra Pradesh (Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Kurnool, Guntur and Karimnagar districts), Karnataka (Bijapur, Dharwar, Gulbarga, Bidar, Belgaum, Raichur, Bellari and Chitradurga districts), Rajasthan (Kota, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Bharatpur and Banswara districts), Tamil Nadu (Ramnathpuram, Tirunelvelli, Coimbatore, Madurai and South Arcot districts) and Uttar Pradesh (Jalaun, Hamirpur, Banda and Jhansi districts).
Red soil is a type of soil that develops in a warm, temperate, moist climate under deciduous or mixed forest, having thin organic and organic-mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on an illuvial red layer. Red soils are generally derived from crystalline rock. They are usually poor growing soils, low in nutrients and humus and difficult to cultivate because of its low water holding capacity. Red soils denote the third largest soil group of India covering an area of about 3.5 lakhs sq. km (10.6% of India's area) over the Peninsula from Tamil Nadu in the south to Bundelkhand in the north and Rajmahal hills in the east to Katchch in the west. They surround the red soils on their south, east and north.

BLACK SOIL :-
These soils are black in colour and are also known as rugur soils and black cotton soil . These soil are mainly found in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh,Malwa,and Chhattisgarh extend in the south east direction along the godavari and Krishna valley.the blacks soil is made up of extremely fine clay material.They are well-known for their capacity to hold moisture.They are rich in soil nutrients. Such as calcium, carbonate and lime they develop deep crack during hot weather. These soil are sticky when wet and difficult to work during monsoon period.......
RED SOIL :-
Red soils develop on crystalline igneous rocks .Red soil are found in parts of Orissa , Chattisgarh, southern parts of the middle Ganga plain. These soils develop a reddish colour due to diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks......
