Consider the following statements:
- 1Alluvial soil is rich in chemical properties and is capable of yielding Rabi and Kharif crops.
- 2Black soil is suitable for cotton, groundnut.
- 3Rabi crops are reaped in autumn after sowing in June.
Which of these statements are correct?
General ScienceBiology
- A1, 2 and 3
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3
- D1 and 3
Explanation
Alluvial soils are chemically rich and support both Rabi and Kharif crops — statement 1 is correct. Black (regur) soil is famously suited to cotton and groundnut — statement 2 is correct. Rabi crops are sown in winter (October–December) and harvested in spring — not sown in June — so statement 3 is wrong. Hence 1 and 2 are correct — (B).
