They extended northwards in the west along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra.

Answer 7

The area you asked about, the soil type(s) you are referring to are the alfisols and ultisols. Though they may look very similar at a glance, they are different in substance. Alfisols are considerably better than the acidic and nutrient deficient ultisols. Some basic information is below with additional links to other sites.

It is important to know what your soil has and does not have so test it if you can. But all soil with few exceptions, will benefit from any additions of organic material and lime.

Sea shells ground up or egg shells/ poultry farm products will help if lime is expensive. Any large amount of organic material is a good mulch and can be added in huge amounts on the soil surface to keep out weeds. It will add lots of good stuff as it rots.
