Laterites are specially well developed on the summits of the hills of Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, the coastal region of Orissa, south Maharashtra, Malabar and part of Assam. All lateritic soils are generally very poor in lime and magnesia, and deficient in nitrogen. Occasionally, the P₂O₅ content may be high, but there is deficiency of K₂O.
