Question 6(b)

In which part of the year is wheat grown in India? Why?

Answer

Wheat is a rabi crop and mostly grown during the cold weather season. It is usually sown in October and continues till the mid of November. It is harvested by the end of January in the south, and by March-April in the north.

It is so because wheat grows best in cool moist climate and ripens in warm, dry climate.
