Question 5(d)

(i) Besides cotton, name the crops which grow well in Regur soil.

(ii) In what way does Regur soil help agriculture?

Answer

(i) Besides cotton, jowar, wheat, linseed, gram, citrus fruits and vegetables, tobacco and sugarcane grow well in Regur soil.

(ii) Regur soil helps agriculture as it is very fertile. In any season, it has moisture stored in its subsoil. This allows dry farming as well. In dry season, it forms big cracks which help in air circulation, and causes a kind of self ploughing.
