Explanation

Karewas are lacustrine (lake-deposited) soils found in the Kashmir Valley. These well-drained, loamy soils are ideal for saffron cultivation because they require good drainage and specific soil conditions. Sericulture requires mulberry plants, mushroom cultivation needs different organic matter, and citrus fruits thrive in distinct soil types.
