Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Laterite soils are acidic, heavily leached soils that are rich in iron and aluminum but poor in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphate, and calcium. They are highly suitable for plantation crops like tea, coffee, and cashew nuts, but are not suitable for water-retaining and nutrient-demanding crops like jute, which thrives best in rich alluvial soils.
