Abstract
Rice can be grown in a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. Provided water is available, it has the widest adaptibility to different soil types. With appropriate management practices, rice can be grown in all the soil orders recognized in soil taxonomy (Moorman, 1978). According to the above author, soils belonging to 43 suborders are suitable for growing rice; but, globally, the soils belonging to only eight suborders are of major importance. It is natural, therefore, that rice soils show a surprisingly wide range of properties.
