Detailed Solution

The laterite soils are generally poor in phosphoric contents.
The laterite soils foster in regions with high temperatures and high precipitation. These soils are poor in natural matter, nitrogen, phosphate and calcium, while iron oxide and potash are in overabundance. Subsequently, laterite is not appropriate for development; nonetheless, using excrements and composts is expected to make the soils ripe for development. Red laterite soils in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are more appropriate for tree crops like cashew nuts. Laterite soils are generally cut as blocks for use in house development.
