Characteristics of arid soil. |
| Answer» Arid soils range from red to brown in colour.\tThey are sandy in texture and saline in nature. In some areas, the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water.\tDue to dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture.\tThe lower layers of the soil are occupied by Kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards.\tAfter proper irrigation, these soils become cultivable as has been in the case of western Rajasthan. | |
