Black soils absorb water and become sticky but has high water retentive property because it is non-porous and due to this property it has a self plouging property
There are 8 types of soils in India. 1.Alluvial soils 2.Black soils 3.Red soils 4.Laterite soils 5.Moutainous soils 6.Desert soils 7.Saline soils 8.Peat soils

Soils differ in color-There are yellow soils and red soils.There are brown soilsand black soils.Soils that are dark colored are fertile
BLACK SOIL :-Important characteristics of black soils are:a. These soils are black in colour and are also known as regur soils. Black soil is ideal for growing cotton and is also known as black cotton soil.b. It is believed that climatic conditions along with the parent rock material are the important factors for the formation of black soil.c. The black soils are made up of extremely fine i.e. clayey material.d. They are well-known for their capacity to hold moisture.e. In addition, they are rich in soil nutrients, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and lime. These soils are generally poor in phosphoric contents.f. They develop deep cracks during hot weather, which helps in the proper aeration of the soil.g. These soils are sticky when wet and difficult to work on unless tilled immediately after the first shower or during the pre-monsoon period.RED SOIL :-a. Red soil develops on crystalline igneous rocks in areas of low rainfall.b. These soils develop a reddish colour due to diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks.c. It looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form.

What is the difference between alluvial soil and the black soil
black soil is formed from basaltic rocks
red,black,,brown,grey,yellow
Black soil is a visual classification and the composition of black soils will vary,

There is research evidence that low pH soils are associated with less ability to facilitate ammonification. A comparison was done of forest soils having a pH less than 4.0 with soils having a pH greater than 4.0. An assay for measuring the ability of soils to produce ammonia was developed using the protein arginine. Ammonia production from this protein was significantly higher in the soils with the higher pH. Also, a negative correlation was found between pH and ammonia production in the low-pH soils.

Ploughing is done mainly in the Autumn, after harvesting the crops, to turn over the soil, leaving it in furrows. This covers and suppresses weeds. Also, on heavy soils, the furrows are left for winter weather to break down the soil particles. In Spring, as soon as the soil has dried out a little, the furrows are harrowed and broken down into a file tilth suitable for planting or sowing with seed.
