Answer
Cotton grows well in the well-drained clayey soils containing lime and phosphates. The deep and medium black soils are considered ideal for cotton cultivation since black soil has a high level of clay and good water holding capacity that makes it suitable for the growth of cotton.
Since cotton crops exhaust the fertility of soil rapidly, regular application of manures and fertilizers to the soil is necessary.
