Solution (By Examveda Team)

Rice cultivation takes happen in Odisha's alluvial soils. The deltaic alluvial soils are generally fertile, however they are deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus. Due to tidal flooding, coastal alluvial soils within 10 km of the sea coast have high total soluble salts, primarily sodium chloride. The coastal belt contains around 1.70 million hectares of rice land, accounting for approximately 38% of the total rice acreage.
