The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Soil types in different regions of Tamil Nadu influence the suitability of crops like rice in clay soils, millets in sandy soils, and cotton in black soils.
- Rice is a water-intensive crop that grows best in clay soils. Clay soils are rich in nutrients and can hold a lot of water, which is essential for rice cultivation.
- Millets are drought-tolerant crops that grow best in sandy soils. Sandy soils are well-drained and do not retain water as well as clay soils, which is ideal for millets.
- Cotton is a warm-weather crop that grows best in black soils. Black soils are rich in organic matter and have good drainage, which are ideal conditions for cotton cultivation.
In addition to soil type, other factors such as climate, rainfall, and elevation also influence the suitability of crops in different regions of Tamil Nadu.
