$$3$$. It is rich in phosphorus and poor in potash.
$$4$$. It is the most fertile soil.

A
I and II

B
III and IV

C
I, II and IV

D
I, II and III
Question 2
1 / -0

On the basis of the process of their formation, which of the following soils is formed differently from the other three?

A
Khadar

B
Bangar

C
Bhabar

D
Regur

Solution

Black cotton soil (regur soil) is highly argillaceous i.e. clayey. It is deep and impermeable and thus has high water retention capacity. These soils are black in colour due to the presence of iron, aluminium compounds and humus.
The correct answer is D.
Question 3
1 / -0

Consider the following statements.
$$1$$. Alluvial soil is rich in chemical properties and is capable of yielding Rabi and Kharif crops.
$$2$$. Black soil is suitable for cotton, groundnut.
$$3$$. Rabi crops are reaped in autumn after sowing in June.
Which of these statements are correct?

A
$$1, 2$$ and $$3$$

B
$$1$$ and $$2$$

C
$$2$$ and $$3$$

D
$$1$$ and $$3$$
Solution
- Alluvial soils as a whole are very fertile. Due to its high fertility, regions of alluvial soils are intensively cultivated both in Kharif and Rabi seasons.
- Black soil is ideal for growing cotton and is also known as black cotton soil.
- Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June.
Question 4

The correct answer is A.
Question 5
1 / -0

Of the following statements about the major soil types, the incorrect one is ______________.

A
Alluvial soils are easy to plough

B
Red soils are rich in phosphorus, nitrogen and lime content

C
Laterite is typically a soil of tropical regions which receive heavy seasonal rainfall

D
Black soil is highly retentive of moisture and very productive

Solution

Red soils are acidic mainly due to the nature of the parent rocks. The alkali content is fair. They are poor in lime, magnesia, phosphates, nitrogen and humus. They are fairly rich in potash and potassium.
The correct answer is B.
Question 6

A
Regur/black

B
Alluvial

C
Red

D
Clayey
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following is/are not the characteristics of red soils?
$$1$$. They are derived from weathering of old crystalline and metamorphic rocks.
$$2$$. They contain iron oxides.
$$3$$. They have high water retention capacity.
$$4$$. They have high nitrogen content.

A
II and III

B
Only III

C
Only IV

D
III and IV

Solution

Red soil is found in warm, temperate, and moist environment and vary from sand to loamy in nature. This soil as the name suggests is red in colour and red colour indicates oxidized ferric iron oxides. They are usually poor for cultivation because of its low water holding capacity but crops like Bajra can be grown on them.
The correct answer is D.

Regions Soil Type
A. Malwa Plateau $$1$$. Alluvial
B. Dharwar Plateau $$2$$. Lateritic
