Detailed Solution

The crops mostly grown in laterite soil are Tea, Rubber, and Coffee.
Laterite soil is deficient in most of the minerals essential for the growth of crops. The soil can be used to cultivate plantation crops like rubber, coffee, and tea by providing the required fertilisers and a proper water supply. Coconut, cinchona, areca nut, cashew, pulses, wheat, cotton, and rice can also be cultivated in the soil, providing the required minerals as fertilisers. Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh are some regions with laterite soil. The laterite soil supports the grazing grounds in the south of these regions. Laterite soil is suitable for making building materials like bricks due to its hardening property.
