Black Soils

Chemically, the black soils are rich in lime, iron, magnesia and alumina. They also contain potash. But they lack in phosphorus, nitrogen and organic matter.

Laterite Soils

With rain, lime and silica are leached away, and soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compound are left behind.
