Question 5(a)

State any two conditions that favour the growth of tea in the Nilgiris.

Answer

Two conditions that favour the growth of tea in the Nilgiris are-

  1. The slopes protect the crop from annual inundations and stagnant water during the rains.
  2. The high altitude provides the required climatic conditions- temperature ranging from 24°C to 30°C and annual rainfall of atleast 150 cm, well distributed throughout the year.
