    Question: Which type of soil is NOT suitable for rice cultivation?

    Options:

    Arid soil
    Riverine alluvial soil
    Saline soil
    Clayey loam soil

    The correct answer is Arid soil.
    Arid soil is not suitable for rice cultivation.

    🔑Key Points:
    Rice is a tropical plant that requires sufficient water to grow well.
    Therefore, the soil used in growing rice should have a good water holding capacity.
    Silt clay, silt clay loam and clay are some of the soil textures that are best for rice farming.
    Fertile riverine alluvial soil is best for rice cultivation.

    🔴Additional Information:
    Although the pH of rice soil become neutral, it should be 5 – 8. 
    Because, if the soil is more acidic or more alkaline, it will need more time to become neutral.
    As a result, the plant has to face an unfavourable situation.
    For example, rice cultivation or yield is not satisfactory in acid soil.
    Furthermore, flat lands are better for rice farming to allow balanced water distribution.
