Clay Soil:
Characterized by fine particles and high water retention, clay soil is nutrient-rich and ideal for cultivating crops like rice, wheat, and soybeans. It is used for lining ponds and reservoirs to prevent water seepage due to its impermeable nature.

Sandy Soil:
Comprising larger particles with low water retention, sandy soil drains quickly and is suitable for drought-resistant crops like cacti and succulents. It is commonly used in construction for backfilling and landscaping due to its stability and easy drainage.

Loamy Soil:
A balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay, loamy soil offers excellent water retention and drainage, making it fertile for a wide variety of crops. Preferred by gardeners for its nutrient-holding capacity and structure, it is suitable for growing vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants.

Silty Soil:
Consisting of fine particles smaller than sand but larger than clay, silty soil retains water well and is moderately fertile. Used in construction for making bricks, mortar, and plaster due to its cohesive properties.

Peaty Soil: 
High in organic matter from partially decomposed plant material, peaty soil is acidic and ideal for acid-loving plants like blueberries and azaleas. Utilized as a fuel source and in horticulture to improve soil structure and water retention.

Chalky Soil:
Rich in calcium carbonate from limestone weathering, chalky soil is alkaline with poor water retention. Suitable for drought-tolerant crops such as lavender and sage, and used in construction for making lime mortar and plaster.

Black Soil (Regur Soil):
Also known as regur or black cotton soil, black soil is rich in clay minerals and organic matter, and has excellent moisture retention. Ideal for growing crops like cotton, sugarcane, and soybeans, and used in construction for making bricks and pottery.
