Question

Rice and jute grow in heavily inundated places, particularly near river deltas. Which of these soils is best suited for them?

• A. Clayey
• B. Loamy
• C. Sandy
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Clayey

Rice and jute need some amount of stagnant water to grow. This level of water stagnation happens only in soils with very slow rates of percolation and high moisture absorption. This means that clayey soils are better for these plants.
