Question

Name two agricultural seasons. Why is wheat mostly grown in Punjab? Give two reasons.

Answer 1

The two agricultural seasons are:

1. Kharif
2. Rabi.

Wheat is mostly grown in Punjab due to these reasons:

• Punjab has fertile land deposited by alluvial soils. These loamy soils are best suited for wheat.
• Cyclonic rainfall, which occurs over a long period, is well suited for wheat.
