Question 7
If wheat is sown in the kharif season, what would happen? Discuss.

Answer 1

We know that June to October is the monsoon season, where not only do average temperature range between 28°C and above, but in most parts of the country the average rainfall remains high. Wheat typically needs temperatures ranging from (21° to 24°C) with a rainfall of about 38 cms. Clearly the rainy season's climatic conditions are not suitable for the growth of wheat. Hence, it is not grown during the Kharif season.
