Factors to cultivate Sugarcane and wheat
Answers
Factor for cultivating wheat ~
Level land.
Fertile soil.
Temperature not high .
Rain up to 20 cm.
Answer:
PHYSICAL FACTORS:- For the growth of sugar cane following Physical conditions are wanted.
TEMPERATURE:-The sugarcane can not be cultivated in sold areas. The areas where the temperature is below 40 degree F sugar cane cannot be cultivated there. For the proper production of sugar cane it is necessary that temperature may be warm. At the time of sowing and at the harvesting time lower temperature is required. Usually temperature ranging from 65 degree F to 80 degree f is suitable for its production.
RAINFALL:-For the production of sugar cane sufficient quantity of rain and humidity is required and dry weather the production and juice of sugarcane decreases. The areas having 40” to70” rainfall annually are considered most suitable areas for the production of sugarcane but at the harvesting time dry weather condition is necessary so that the juice of sugarcane may become thick.
SOIL:-To get good crop of sugarcane, it is necessary to have fertile soil. The suitable soil for sugarcane is a field having sufficient quantity of phosphorus. Beside this it should contain lime for better results.
ECONOMIC FACTORS:-Economic factors plays an important role in the better cultivation of sugar cane. The following are the main economic factors for the cultivation of sugar cane:
CHEAP LABOUR
USE OF GOOD QUALITY SEEDS
MEANS OF TRANSPORT
ARRANGMENT OF PROPER MARKET
NEAR NESS TO MARKETS AND PORTS
KINDS OF SUGAR CANE The following are the main kinds of sugar cane.
Suitable graphical conditions required for wheat cultivation are : 1. Temperature, 2. Rainfall, 3. Soils, 4. Topography and 5. Economic Factors!
1. Temperature:
The temperature required for wheat during growing season is around 15.5°C. The weather should be warm and moist during the early stage of growth and sunny and dry in the later stages.
The average temperature of the hottest month should not exceed 20°C. A frost-free period of 100 days is usually required but some fast-ripening varieties may mature only in 90 days.
2. Rainfall:
The amount of rainfall required for wheat cultivation varies between 30 cm and 100 cm. The major wheat lands of the temperate regions have an annual rainfall of 38 cm to 80 cm. The spring wheat region of Canadian Prairies only receives around 46 cm of rainfall, but it comes in the early summers when the wheat is growing.
Wheat is also grown in areas having lesser amount of rainfall, i.e., 25 cm. This has been done by adopting dry farming method. Also where irrigation facilities are available, wheat is cultivated in dry lands also.
3. Soils:
The soil suitable for wheat is either light clay or heavy loam. The world’s best wheat comes from the chernozem soils in the ‘Black Earth’ region of the Ukrainian Steppes, the dark brown soil of North America and also the grey brown podzolic soils of the deciduous forest region.
4. Topography:
Wheat is grown in plain as well as in rolling topography, which provides adequate drainage and at the same time facilities of the use of machinery. The world’s largest commercial wheat lands are the undulating temperate grasslands of Steppes, Prairies, Pampas and the Australian Downs.
5. Economic Factors:
The economic factors that favour wheat cultivation are:
(i) Technology:
In wheat cultivation maximum use of technology is possible. The commercial wheat farming is technology-intensive cultivation which requires tractors, harvesters, threshers, elevators, etc.
(ii) Transport:
Wheat farming is also linked up with export. Therefore, a good transport network is essential for its successful cultivation.
(iii) Capital:
It is a capital-intensive farming; therefore, sufficient capital is required.
(iv) Market:
Both internal and external markets are essential for the profitable wheat cultivation.
