GENERAL ECONOMIC SURVEY

SOILS

Soils of the district mainly fall into five categories, viz., medium black soils, deep black soils, forest soils, loamy soils and sandy soils. Medium black soils when fertilized with nitrogen, phosphorus and potash respond favourably and are best suited for the rabi crops like jowar, cotton and bajri and gardens of banana and citrus fruits. They cover a large portion of the district and include most of the cultivated area in southern parts of Raver, Yawal and Chopda talukas in the north and northern portions of Pachora and Jamner talukas in the south.
