Which crop is mainly grown in Black soil?
Show Hint
- Rubber
- Maize
- Cotton
- Rice
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Overview of Black Soil
Black soil is rich in minerals and moisture-retentive, making it ideal for growing certain crops. This soil is commonly found in regions like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Tamil Nadu.
Step 2: Cotton as the Correct Crop
Cotton is the primary crop grown in Black soil due to its suitability for the moisture-retentive nature of Black soil, which supports cotton plants. It is often referred to as "Regur Soil."
Step 3: Why the other options are incorrect
- (A) Rubber: Rubber is generally grown in tropical climates and is not suitable for Black soil.
- (B) Maize: While maize can be grown in a variety of soils, it is not primarily associated with Black soil.
- (D) Rice: Rice is typically grown in alluvial soil, especially in floodplains and is not the primary crop for Black soil.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Cotton.
