Rice, wheat, sorghum, finger millet, barley, triticale, and linseed grow best in clay loam soils, which retain moisture well and support root establishment.

Maize, bajra (pearl millet), proso millet, sawan (barnyard millet), and kodo millet prefer sandy loam to silty loam soils, as these allow proper drainage and root aeration.

Kakun (foxtail millet) thrives in red loam soils, which are slightly acidic and well-drained.

Gram, arhar (pigeon pea), rapeseed and mustard, jute, lucerne (alfalfa), sugarcane, sugarbeet, and potato are well-suited to sandy loam to clay loam soils, providing a balance between water retention and drainage.

Lentil and berseem (Egyptian clover) require light loam or alluvial soils, which are fertile and have moderate water-holding capacity.

Pea, cowpea, soybean, castor, safflower, sunhemp, and Napier grass grow well in well-drained loam soils, which support healthy root development and minimize water stagnation.

Moong (green gram) and oat prefer loam to sandy loam soils, offering good tilth and ease of root penetration.

French bean (rajmash) does best in sandy to sandy loam soils, which warm up quickly and facilitate early growth.

Groundnut (peanut), til (sesamum), and cluster bean typically grow in light, sandy loam soils with good drainage, though not explicitly mentioned earlier.

Cotton, urd (black gram), and sunflower thrive in black cotton soils, which are rich in nutrients and have good moisture-holding capacity.

Cigar, pipe, hookah, and chewing type tobaccos are best cultivated in heavy soils, which support their specific leaf development needs.

Cigarette, bidi, cigar wrapper, and high-grade pipe tobaccos grow well in light sandy soils, which help in producing thin, light-colored leaves desirable for smoking quality.
