8. Peaty and Marshy soils
- These types of soils are found in coastal tracts.
- Accumulation of partly decayed organic matter over several years in the presence of high moisture gives rise to peaty and marshy soils.
- These are black in colour, heavy and highly acidic.
- When properly drained and fertilized, these soils produce good crops of rice.
