BLACK SOIL Also known as Regur or Black Cotton soil. Dark grey to Black in color. High clay content. Highly moist retentive. Develops cracks in summer. Covers 5.4 lakh sq. km. Highly suitable for cotton. Rich in iron, lime, calcium,Magnesium,carbonates, and alumina.

RED SOIL Formed due to weathering of old crystalline rocks. More sandy and less clayey. Rich in iron, small amount of Humus. Poor in phosphorus, nitrogen and lime. Slightly acidic and do not retain moisture. 3.5 lakhs sq.km area. Porous and Friable.

LATERITE SOIL Latin word meaning brick. Formed under high temperature and rainfall with wet and dry spell. Silica is leached due to high rainfall. Remnants of iron and aluminum oxides left
behind is know as Laterite. Brown to Yellowish color. Becomes hard when exposed to atmosphere. Used as building material.

DESERT SOIL Contains soluble salts. Originated by Mechanical disintegration & wind deposit. Porous and coarse. 90% sand & 5% clay. Rich in Nitrates & Phosphates. Poor in Nitrogen & Humus. Friable, sandy & low moist content. 1.4 Lakh sqkm.

Alluvial soil

ALLUVIAL soil is formed when a soil-carrying stream gradually loses its carrying capacity with decreasing velocity. In slowing down, a river does not have sufficient power to keep the large particles of soil suspended; these particles settle to the riverbed. Further decrease in velocity causes smaller particles to settle. These particles are deposited, finally, at the mouth of the river, where they form DELTAS of fine-grained soil.
