Identify the incorrect statement on Wheat crop cultivation in India :
Answer d.
Explanation Answer · d
The incorrect statement is (d). The black soil region of the Deccan is suitable for wheat. Wheat is the second most important cereal in India after rice. It is a rabi crop sown in winter and needs a cool growing season with a warm, dry harvest period. Its main belt is the Ganga-Satluj plains in the north-west, and the black soil region of the Deccan is the second major wheat zone. So saying black soil is not suitable for wheat is wrong. The other three statements are correct.
