Question
Short Note : Laterite soil.
Answer
Laterite soil is a type of soil that is formed by the weathering of rocks in tropical and subtropical regions with high rainfall. It is typically rich in iron and aluminum oxides, and has a high clay content. Laterite soil is generally poor in nutrients and organic matter, and is not very fertile. However, it is used for cultivation of certain crops like cashew, tea, coffee, and coconut in West Bengal.
