Answer 2

Rain-fed crops solely depend on natural rainfall for growth.

Explanation:

• Rain-fed crops are seasonal crops.
• They require natural precipitation as a source of water for their growth.
• They are susceptible to seasonal changes, that is, they fail to grow in absence of rainfall or if rainfall is scanty.
• They usually grow in regions with greater than 750 mm of rainfall.
• Humid and sub-humid regions are ideal for their growth.
• Examples : Wheat, millet, peas, maize, soybean.
