Which soil is suitable for Black gram farming?

Black gram does well on heavier soils like black cotton soils that retain moisture. It can be grown in all types of soils from sandy loam to heavy clay soil, except the alkaline and saline soils. Loam or slightly heavy soils with neutral pH levels are best suited for urad bean. The soil must be well drained and have good water holding capacity. Waterlogged, saline and alkaline soil must be avoided. The black gram grows well in fertile soil which is rich in lots of organic contents.
