Explanation:

The red soils are mostly loamy and hence cannot retain water like the black soils. The red soils, with the proper use of fertilizers and irrigation techniques, give good yield of cotton, wheat, rice, pulses, millets, tobacco, oil seeds, potatoes and fruits.

Laterite soils are mostly the end products of weathering. When manured and irrigated, some laterites are suitable for growing plantation crops like tea, coffee, rubber, cinchona, coconut, arecanut, etc.

Clayey and loamy soils are both suitable for growing cereals like wheat, and gram. Such soils are good at retaining water. Black Soil or Regur Soil is suitable for cotton and sugarcane cultivation.
