    Which soil requires the least tilling?

    A) Red                   

    B) Black

    C) Laterite                          

    D) Alluvial

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Black soil becomes sticky when wet and develops cracks on drying. When it rains, top soil is carried into the cracks with the rain water. Thus, the soil of the upper layers is continuously taken to lower horizons, with the same effect as tilling.
