Where is black soil found?

Black soil is rich in clay, calcium, magnesium, and potash, making it highly fertile and suitable for crops like cotton, sugarcane, and soybeans.

Black soil, also known as Regur soil, is primarily found in India, especially in the Deccan Plateau region.

It is also found in parts of Africa, Brazil, and Australia, where similar volcanic and alluvial processes have produced dark, fertile soil.

States like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka have large areas covered with black soil.

Black soil retains moisture well, which is why it is sometimes referred to as "black cotton soil" because it supports cotton cultivation extensively.
