1. Black soils are made up of extremely fine, i.e., clayey material. 

2. They are well known for their capacity to hold moisture. In addition they are rich in soil nutrients, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and lime. They are generally poor in phosphoric contents. 

3. These soils are black and are also known as regur soils. As black soil is ideal for growing cotton, it is also known as black cotton soil. 

4. These soils are sticky when wet and difficult to work on unless tilled immediately after the first shower or during the pre-monsoon period. They cover the plateaus of Maharashtra, Saurashtra, Malwa, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
