Essential conditions for a good harvest in India.
Answers
i. Wheat needs cool and moist climate at the time of sowing and growing and a dry and warm climate at the time of ripening. The sudden rise in temperature at the time of ripening is harmful.
ii. The temperature should be low (about 10°C to 15°C) at the time of sowing and at the harvesting time the temperature should be about 25 °C to 30 °C.
iii. Wheat grows well in those areas, where the average annual rainfall is less than 100 cm. In areas of very low rainfall, irrigation is necessary. Light showers during the winter season can produce a bumper harvest.
