Question

The lower Gangetic plain is characterised by humid climate with high temperature throughout the year. Which one among the following pairs of crops is most suitable for this region?

Accepted Answer

The lower Gangetic plain, which primarily covers West Bengal and parts of Bangladesh, experiences high temperatures and high rainfall exceeding 150 centimeters annually. These humid conditions are ideal for crops that require standing water and high moisture levels.

Paddy is the dominant crop because it thrives in stagnant water and high heat. Jute, often called the golden fiber, requires a hot and humid climate with heavy rainfall and alluvial soil, which the lower Gangetic delta provides perfectly.

In contrast, wheat and cotton are unsuitable as primary choices for this specific climate. Wheat is a rabi crop that requires cool weather and moderate rainfall, while cotton requires drier conditions and specific soil types not characteristic of the humid lower Gangetic plains. Therefore, the combination of Paddy and Jute is the most suitable.
