Question

Do you know why sugarcane and cotton when grown in clayey soil, produced a low yield, while wheat and gram, when grown in the same clayey soil, produced a high yield?

Answer 1

Hi,

Crops such as wheat are grown in the fine clayey soils, because they are rich in humus and are very fertil e.

For cotton, sandy-loam or loam, which drain water easily and can hold plenty of air, are more

suitable.
