Select the correct code:
The correct option is A (a) All of the above
Climate is by far the greatest deciding factor. It is entirely a question of climate when apples fail to mature in Malaysia or cotton cannot be grown in Lancashire. The lowlands are the most suited to a wide range of crops such as wheat, coconut, sugarcane, paddy and an increase in altitude will exclude most of them. Soil which forms the physical support of plants is fundamental to any form of agriculture. Despite all the natural conditions of climate, relief and soil that may favour crop cultivation, the presence of biotic agents such as parasitic, plants, disease and insect- pest will damage crops and hamper farming in many parts of the world. Social prejudices and widespread illiteracy makes technological changes difficult. Likewise economic factors too affect greatly to the agriculture.
