Detailed Solution

Alluvial soil is best suited for cultivating wheat.
The alluvium deposited by east-flowing rivers, originating in the peninsular region, results in the formation of fertile plains and deltas on the eastern side of the subcontinent. The fertile alluvium deposited by the rivers makes the plains highly fertile and suitable for agriculture. The region gets replenished by rivers by the continuous deposition of sediments. The fertile plains formed by alluvium and the abundant water resources support wheat cultivation, which is the staple food in north India. Clayey, loamy soils are best for cultivating wheat, which is why alluvial soil is preferred. Some wheat-producing states in India are Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh.
