Bihar is basically a state with predominant agricultural activities. The agricultural region in Bihar is categorized into 2 main regions - the wet east and the dry west.

The major crop grown in Bihar is rice. It is a wet-seasonal crop so it is majorly grown in agricultural areas along the banks of the river Ganges. The other important crops of these wet areas include - Barley, maize, wheat, and other pulses like chickpeas, pigeon peas, etc. The cash crops include - chillis, oilseeds, sugar cane, potatoes, and tobacco.

These areas are wet most of the times and they 
have many swamps and lakes also which help in providing a rich growing area for all these crops.

Solution :-

Mohan cultivates wheat or rice.

Geographical conditions required for wheat -

Wheat is a rabi crop and it is grown from September to December in various states of India depending upon the suitable climate and the harvesting is done from February to May depending upon the climate as well.

Wheat requires 14° to 18° C temperature. High temperature is harmful for the cultivation of wheat. 50 cm to 100 cm rainfall is required for cultivation of wheat. In its primary stage and at the time of harvesting, cold moisture rich climate is required.

Fertile alluvial soil or mixed soil is ideal for wheat cultivation. Plain land or gentle slope is ideal for wheat cultivation.

Geographical conditions required for rice -

Rice is the staple crop of India and it is a kharif crop. It is grown well in hot and moist climate.

16° to 27° C temperature and 100 cm to 200 cm rainfall is ideal rice cultivation. But rainfall during the harvest time is harmful. Annual coverage temperature around 24° C is ideal.

Rice is grown well in the alluvial soil or the fertile river basin soil. It is also grown in mixed soil or loamy and clayey soil. Plain land or gentle slopes are suitable for the production of rice because stagnancy of water is a must for the cultivation of rice.
