Answer 2

Answer:1. Food Crops:

Food crops cover most of the total cropped area in the country and contribute to about 50 per cent of the total value of agricultural production.

They are grown throughout the country either as a sole crop or in combination with other crops.

2. Rice:

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the leading crop of India and its growth area stretches from 8° N latitude to 34° N latitude. Rice is also grown in areas below sea level as in the Kuttanad region of Kerala.In Andhra Pradesh the deltas of Krishna and Godavari and the adjoining coastal plains form one of the most important rice tracts in the country. Rice is grown both in kharif and rabi seasons. The districts of the East and West Godavari, Kurnool, Anantpur, Krishna, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Nellore and Cuddapah are the main places where rice is largely raised.

In Assam rice is the main food crop. It is raised in the Brahmaputra valley including Goalpara, Kamrup, Darrang, Lakhimpur, Sibsagar and Nowgong districts and the Barak valley in Cachar district. A substantial amount of the crop is produced under shifting cultivation system, locally called jhum. In Assam the winter crop is the most important followed by the autumn and the summer crop.

In Bihar the main regions of rice cultivation are Shahabad, Champaran, Gaya, Darbhanga and Purnia, while Santhal Parganas, Ranchi and Singhbhum are the main rice producing centres of Jharkhand. In Bihar and Jharkhand, autumn rice is sown in May-June and harvested in September. But winter rice is sown during May-June, transplanted in June-July and harvested in October-November.

Over 90 per cent of Orissa’s rice comes from Sambalpur, Dhenkanal, Cuttack, Puri, Balasore, Ganjam, Kendrapara, Koraput, Mayurbhanj, Bolangir. Rice occupies about 58 per cent of the state’s total cropped area.In Uttar Pradesh, the rice cultivation is confined to Saharanpur, Deoria, Gonda, Bahraich, Basti, Rai Barelli, Lucknow, Varanasi and Gorakhpur. The crop is extensively grown in the eastern and north-eastern parts.

In Uttarakhand, rice is grown in Terai region which includes Dehradun also. Rice is also cultivated on the slopes of the lesser and middle Himalayas where it is grown under terracing.

In Madhya Pradesh most of the crops are grown in Balaghat, Raigarh and Betul districts, while Raipur, Bilaspur and Surguja districts are main rice growing regions of Chhattisgarh. Rice is largely raised in Tapti, Mahanadi and Narmada valleys.

In Tamil Nadu, north Arcot and Thanjavur districts in the Cauvery delta account for 60 per cent of the state’s production. Chingleput, Tirunelveli, Tiruchirapalli and Ramanathapuram are other leading districts.3. Wheat:

Next to rice, wheat (Triticum) is the most important food crop. The germ wheat (Triticum) has several species, viz., Triticum durum, Triticum aestiyum L., Triticum compactum, Triticum spelta, Triticum dicoccum, etc. However, in India the common bread wheat varieties are Triticum aestiyum L., the macaroni wheat (Triticum durum) and Emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum). Triticum dicoccum is grown on a. very restricted scale in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu where it is known under the names of popaliya, khapli, rava, godhumalu and samba respectively.

Triticum durum is the second most important wheat specie grown in the country. This specie is grown mostly under rainfed conditions in Madhya Pradesh, parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Only recently, with the development of dwarf high yielding varieties, some area has come under dwarf durum in Punjab, central and peninsular India. Good quality pasta wheats suitable for macaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli and noodles are now available.
