Detailed Solution

Black soil is known as cotton soil.
The black soil is made up of fine clay particles which retain a high degree of moisture. Cotton requires deep, well-drained sandy loam soils with adequate clay, organic matter, and an average concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus. Black soil possesses all these qualities. Hence it is the most suitable soil for cotton cultivation. It is mainly found in our country's Deccan trap, which includes the states of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh.
