Solution
Cotton grows widely in Maharashtra because the region has black cotton soil (well-drained clayey soil), which is ideal for its growth. The temperature remains between 20°C and 30°C, and rainfall is moderate, both of which are suitable for cotton cultivation. These favourable soil and climatic conditions make Maharashtra one of the leading cotton-producing states in India.
