A » India's diverse agriculture benefits from various soil types, including alluvial, black (regur), red, laterite, and desert soils. Alluvial soil, prevalent in the Indo-Gangetic plains, is fertile and rich in nutrients, ideal for wheat, rice, and sugarcane. Black soil, found in the Deccan plateau, is moisture-retentive, suitable for cotton. Red soil, rich in iron, and laterite, suitable for tea and coffee, also play crucial roles in Indian agriculture.
