Answers
1 .Rice is a crop of tropical climate. However, it is also grown successfully in humid to sub-humid regions under subtropical and temperate climate.
2.India is a leading producer of tea in the world .
3.Cotton grows well in warm and moist climate where summer is long and where there is salinity in the soil. Temperature: Cotton grown well in a temperature of 24°C. But cotton bursts out, high temperature is injurious. Rainfall: 60-100 cm rainfall is essential for the cultivation of cotton.
4.A cereal is any grass cultivated for the edible components of its grain, composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran. The term may also refer to the resulting grain itself.
5. Fiber crops are crops raised for fiber rather than for food or oil production. Cotton is a very important fiber crop, the cotton bolls produced by the plant are ''ginned'' to remove the cotton fiber, which is then used by the textile industry to make cloth and other cotton products.
6.The crops that are grown for the fibres to makes ropes, cloth, bags, etc. for commercial purposes. Cotton and jute are widely grown as fibre crops.
7.There are many different kinds of rubber, but they all fall into two broad types: natural rubber (latex—grown from plants) and synthetic rubber (made artificially in a chemical plant or laboratory). Commercially, the most important synthetic rubbers are styrene butadiene (SBR), polyacrylics, and polyvinyl acetate (PVA); other kinds include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polychloroprene (better known as neoprene), and various types of polyurethane. Although natural rubber and synthetic rubbers are similar in some ways, they're made by entirely different processes and chemically quite different.The largest consumers of rubber are tires and tubes, followed by general rubber goods. Other significant uses of rubber are hoses, belts, matting, flooring, medical gloves and much more. Rubber is also used as adhesives in many products and industrial applications.
8.Corn is a summer crop that is best grown in a climate that offers warm weather and long sun-filled days. Seedlings do not transplant well, so the best approach is to plant seeds directly into the soil. However, in areas where growing seasons are short, seeds can be started indoors using biodegradable pots.
9.By products of sugar production is used as agricultural mulch and paper production. Sugarcane has medicinal properties and used in Indian Ayurvedic Medicine. Sugarcane juice is used to make ethanol and alcoholic beverages such as rum. Ethanol obtained from sugarcane is now widely used as a biofuel.The ideal temperature for the cultivation of sugarcane is 27°Celsius. Rainfall: 100 cm to 175 cm rainfall is ideal for sugarcane production. In tropical and sub-tropical or regions sugarcane is grown abundantly due to the lengthening of the period of rainy season. Frost is injurious to sugarcane.
10.Wheat plants can be grown and planted in a wide range of agro-climatic conditions. The plants have high flexibility and hence can be grown in the tropical, sub-tropical zones and temperate zone. The most suitable climate for wheat farming is moist and cool weather.
11.The ideal temperature for the cultivation of sugarcane is 27°Celsius. Rainfall: 100 cm to 175 cm rainfall is ideal for sugarcane production. In tropical and sub-tropical or regions sugarcane is grown abundantly due to the lengthening of the period of rainy season. Frost is injurious to sugarcane.
12.Coffee can be grown on lots of soils but the ideal types are fertile volcanic red earth or deep sandy loam. For coffee trees to grow it is important that the soil is well draining which makes heavy clay or heavy sandy soils inadequate.For growing Arabica coffee beans, there are two optimal growing climates: The subtropical regions, at high altitudes of 16-24° (Illy, 21). Rainy and dry seasons must be well defined, and altitude must be between 1800-3600 feet.
