Question

Briefly explain the climatic conditions suitable for the production of jute,

cotton and tea.​

Answer 1

(i) Temperature : It grows well under temperature between 21°C and 27°C. (ii) Rainfall : It grows well in areas of 50¬100 cm of rain, and in areas of less rain, if grown under irrigation. (iii) Soil : It requires well drained alluvial fertile soil or red loams free from coarse materials.

Answer 2

Answer:

River basins or alluvial or loamy soils are best for jute cultivation. Cotton is grown between latitudes of 37° north and 30° south in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions and on every continent. Ideal conditions for the cotton plant are: Long vegetation periods (175 to 225 days) without frost.

tea grows best in regions which enjoy a warm, humid climate with a rainfall measuring at least 100 centimetres a year. Ideally, it likes deep, light, acidic and well-drained soil. Given these conditions, tea will grow in areas from sea level up to altitudes as high as 2,100 metres above sea level.
