growth. The minimum temperature should not go below 15°C
as germination cannot take place below that temperature.

transplanting to as much as 150 mm for 10 weeks of the
growing period.
3. Soils:
 Delta and valley soils( deep clay n loamy soil)
 Soils with higher clay content are preferred for its
cultivation due to their better moisture retention
capacity
 West Bengal (highest producer), Uttar Pradesh, Andhra

Pradesh, Punjab (highest per hectare yield)
 About 25% of the arable land is used for the cultivation
of rice
4. Surface:
 paddy needs a level surface to enable the fields to be flooded
at least during the growing period.

 Maize Cultivation:
1. u.s , china brazil, argentina,ukraine, india(6th`

 Kharif Crop CMSG RAM 18°C and 27°C during the day and
around 14°C during the night.

2. Rainfall:
 60 cm to 110 cm.
3. Soils:
 temperate podzols to the leached red soils
 grown as a major crop of shifting cultivation.
 Fertiliser
 Nitrogen , phosphor, potash
4. Millets:
 Bajra(pearl)
 kharif crop
 dry and warm climat
 40-50 cm of annual rainfall
 ideal temperature for its growth is 25°-30°C
 can be grown on poor light sandy soils, black and red soils
 Deep furrows and broad bed
 Raj, up , haryama,tel., m.p
 Flowering time no rain, grain
 Sandy loam
 Sowing depth low 2-3 cm coz seed is small
Jowar( sorghum
 rainfed crop mostly grown in moist areas which hardly
needs irrigation.
 moderate rainfall of 30-100cms and high temperatures

ranging from 20 to 32°C.
 Both excessive moisture and prolonged drought are
harmful.
 Well drained light soils are ideal
 has more leucine, if over consumed- pellagra, root
releases sorgholean it shows allelopathic effect as it
wont allow othern plant o grow at max. speed
 north India, Jowar is mainly a Kharif crop whereas it is

sown as both Kharif and Rabi in the southern states.
 India is the largest producer of jowar in the world.
 Ragi( red soil)

 very rich in iron, calcium, other micro-nutrients and
roughage
 dry regions and grows well on red, black, sandy, loamy

and shallow black soils
 Karnataka is the largest producer of Ragi followed by

Tamil Nadu. Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim,
Jharkhand and Arunachal Pradesh.
Pulses
 india is the largest producer as well as consumer of
pulses in the world. About 20% of the pulses of the
world are produced here
 Pulses need less moisture and survive even in dry
conditions
 The major pulse producing areas are Madhya Pradesh,

Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
It is grown on about 11% of the total sown area in
India.

Barley
 Rabi
 can be grown as summer or winter crop.
 12-15°C temperature during growing period and
around 30-32°C at maturity
 tolerant to drought and can survive in high
temperatures.
 can be cultivated in saline, sodic and lighter soils
too.
 Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh
Growing Conditions for Sugar Cane

 India 2nd, brazil1st
 tropical and su]btropical areas

 long duration crop and requires 10 to 15 and even 18 months
to mature
 hot and humid climate with average temperature of 21°-27°C
and 75-150 cm rainfall.
 Too heavy rainfall results in low sugar content and deficiency
in rainfall produces fibrous crop
 Short cool dry winter season during ripening and harvesting is
ideal
 Frost is detrimental to sugarcane
 an grow on a variety of soils including loams, clayey loams,
black cotton soils, brown or reddish loams and even laterite
 deep rich loamy soils are ideal for its growth
 soil should be rich in nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus but it
should not be either too acidic or too alkaline.
Growing conditions of jute

Jute is a kharif crop.
March-April on lowlands and in May-June on uplands.
1. Temperature and Humidity: hot damp climate. 26 degree Celsius is ideal. Range bw 27-34 the optimum being around 34 degree Celsius.
2. Average humidity of 80% to 90% is necessary.
2. Rainfall: The pre-monsoon fall though low (varying from 25 centimeter to 55 centimeter) is necessary. An annual average rainfall exceeding 150
centimeter is ideal for Jute cultivation.
3. Soils: Jute plant is called fertility-exhausting plant. Therefore, Jute needs new alluvial soils. In absence of new alluvial soils, application of
chemical fertilizer is needed. clayey soils, but the fibers become sticky. Sandy soils produce coarse fiber.
4. Water bodies: Water for soaking of plants and washing the striped fiber is needed.
Takes 4 months tk grow, then retting is done resha sdaa dena
7. Producing States: West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Maharashtra.

 Cultivation of Coffee: 5

 India7th
 tropical plant
 requires heat, humidity and abundant rainfall
 (a) Temperature:
 20°-27°C
 Growth is most rapid during hot rainy season and during cool
dry season
 Bright sunshine and warm weather are necessary for the
harvesting.
 (b) Rainfall:
 needs abundant rainfall, i.e., 100 to 200 cm annually. The hill
slopes which receive orographic rainfall are thus best for
coffee cultivation.
2. Shade:
 Direct sunlight is harmful for coffee plants; therefore, these
are planted under shade of taller trees such as bananas
Topography:
Generally, coffee is grown on slopes having height between 600 to
1,800 metres. Water stagnation is very harmful for coffee plants;
therefore, hill slopes are best suitable for it.
4. Soils:
 presence of humus and other nitrogenous matter in the soil is
an advantage.
 Almost 80% of Indian coffee is exported
 Tea Production
 China , india , kenya
 moderately hot and humid climate,
 13°C and 28-32°C is conducive for growth of tea
 India, the temperature in winters is around or below 12°C and
there is hardly any growth during this period. This is called Winter
Dormancy. Flushing in the tea plants starts from March with the
rise in temperature.
 The Acidic Soil with around 4.5-5.5 pH is most suitable for Tea
 Well-drained fertile acid soil on high lands with moderate to high
rainfall.
