Question

Which one of the following conditions is not essential to grow maize?

• A. High temperature
• B. Humidity
• C. Low temperature
• D. Rainfall

Answer 1

The correct option is C Low temperature

• Different crops have different climatic requirement and accordingly we have cropping pattern.
• The crops sown in rainy season are called kharif crops, those sown in winter are called rabi crops and those sown in summer are called zaid crops.
• Maize is a kharif crop and it requires high temperature, rainfall and humidity to grow, while rabi crops require low temperature for their growth.
• So low temperature is not essential for maize to grow.
