It is a kharif crop which requires high temperature, (above 25°C) and high humidity with annual rainfall above 100 cm. In the areas of less rainfall, it grows with the help of irrigation. Rice is grown in the plains of north and north-eastern India, coastal areas and the deltaic regions.

Answer 2

Rice is a kharif crop and it is usually sown in the months of monsoon in different parts of the Indian country and it is harvested in September - October. Our country is second largest producer of rice after China. It requires high temperature (above 25°C) and high humidity with annual rainfall above 100 cm. Tea is a plantation crop. Or usually we can say it is a commercial crop normally. It is grown well in tropical and sub - tropical climates with deep and fertile well - drained soil, rich in hummus and organic matter. The tea bushes require warm and moist - free climate all year. Frequent showers evenly distributed over the year ensure continuous growth of tender leaves.
