Black soil, also known as Regur soil, is extensively distributed across the Deccan Trap region of India. Which of the following commercial crops is most naturally suited for cultivation in this soil type due to its high moisture-retention capacity?

  1. A
    Jute
  2. CottonCevap
  3. C
    Tea
  4. D
    Rubber

Cevap

Cotton is the crop most naturally suited for cultivation in black soil.
Cotton is exceptionally well-suited to black soil (Regur soil) because its high clay content retains subsoil moisture for long durations, sustaining cotton plants through rain-fed dry spells in the Deccan region.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the pedological characteristics described in the stem.
Black soil (Regur soil) has a fine clayey composition, high fertility, self-ploughing capacity, and superior water-retention ability.
Matching soil properties with crop growth requirements determines agrarian suitability.
2
Evaluate crop requirements against black soil properties.
Cotton requires moisture-retentive clay soils during its growing phase and warm climatic conditions, making black soil ideal.
Due to this strong ecological association, black soil is frequently termed 'black cotton soil'.
