Regur soil, also known as Black Cotton soil, is famous for its suitability for cotton cultivation due to its high clay content which allows it to retain moisture effectively. Statement 2 is also correct. Black soils are predominantly found in the Deccan Trap region and are formed by the weathering of basaltic lava rocks. While not exclusively under consistently humid conditions (alternating wet and dry periods are key for their cracking property), they develop under hot temperatures and seasonal rainfall characteristic of the region. Statement 1 is incorrect; Regur soils are dark grey to black in colour, not light-coloured.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-key-points\">\nRegur soils are characterized by their dark color, clayey texture, high moisture retention capacity, and tendency to develop deep cracks during dry periods.

The black color is attributed to compounds like titaniferous magnetite and often associated with humus accumulation in the presence of clays. While cotton is the most famous crop grown in these soils, they are also used for cultivating crops like jowar, wheat, sugarcane, and groundnuts.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following statements regarding Regur soil is\/are correct ? 1.
