which grass land is called as the granaries of the world ?
Answers
Answer:
Temperate Grasslands
The Temperate Grasslands are also called the 'granaries of the world' as in these regions wheat is cultivated and produced on a large scale with the help of mechanized tools and modern machinery.
Answer:
Temperate Grasslands
Explanation:
They are called the ‘granaries of the world’ due to the following reasons:
1. Cool, moist spring stimulates early growth and light showers in the ripening period help to swell the grains to ensure a good yield.
2. Warm sunny summer is advantageous for harvesting and also enables straw to be dried for farm use.
3. Levelness of Steppes and other temperate grasslands makes ploughing and harvesting a comparatively easy job.
4. Mechanised fields – mechanical ploughs are available, combine harvesters are used for farming.
5. The area is sparsely populated and they are the greatest exporters.
6. Vegetation is chiefly prophytic in nature, that is, these grasses are capable of regenerating themselves even after a destructive fire.
7. The soils of these regions are black earths called chernozems.
However, one distinct drawback of the form of extensive mechanized farming practised here is the consequent low yield.
