Correct Answer: Both I and II
Solution : The correct answer is Both I and II .
Forest soils are very rich in humus but are deficient in potash, phosphorous, and lime. The soil is loamy and silty on the valley sides, and coarse-grained on the upper slopes. Black-coloured soil is rich in humus and iron, calcium, potash, aluminium, and magnesium. Black soil is very fertile and is useful in cultivation, especially for cotton production.
