1. A combination of high demand and low yield rates in traditional rice-growing areas have led to rice cultivation in non -traditional areas like western India. Western India has states like Punjab and Haryana which is well known for their wheat production.
2. Fertile riverine alluvial soil is best for rice cultivation. ADVERTISEMENTS: Clayey loam soil in monsoon land is considered to be the best for rice cultivation as water retention capacity of this soil is very high. Rice is also grown in saline areas of deltic region.
3. (Don't know)
