Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Red soils are rich in potassium and potash but lack nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesia, lime, and organic contents. It makes the soil less fertile. Red soil is formed from metamorphic and crystalline rocks and has a texture varying from sandy to clayey. Red soil has a porous nature but does not have moisture-retaining capacity. The red colour of the acidic soil is due to the presence of iron oxide.
Thus the correct statement would be Red soil is rich in potassium.
