Morphological and genetic characteristics of the black soils of India known commonly as "regur" have been studied from time to time by various workers. Basu and Sirur (1938) have characterised soils of Deccan Cannals into types A to L according to their genesis. Desai (1942) has studied the nature and relationship between the black cotton soils and the adjoining red earth.s. Bal (1943) has mapped the soils of the Central Provinces and Berar into six classes—according to alluvial nature and their derivation from different parent rocks namely basalt, crystalline genesis, granite, Gondavana series, Cuddapah scries and unclassified soils from genesis and granite. Tamhane (1950) has given, general charactcnstlcs, ot the black soils of India. Morphological and chemical characters of import- ant soils of Madhya Pradesh which includes the black soils have also been described by Joshi (1950). Simonson (1954), in a comparison between the black soils of India and some similar dark soils of the United States, has described in details the morphology of a typical soil from the trap rock at Achalpur and considers it as a norm profile of the black soils in this country. Padole and Joshi (1957) have studied the physicochcmical properties of black cotton soils and have given the ranges of the various constituents in these soils.
