(ºC)= Summer 36.8 Avg. min temp. (ºC) Winter17.2 Avg. seasonal rainfall (mm)=780-1287mm Climate=Semi-arid and dry sub-humid climate irrigation method=Tube wells and tanks are the water sources. Soil type= Red soil and mixed black, yellow, red sandy, laterite, and alluvial soils Important crops=Jower, Bajra, Groundnut, Rice and Ragi. Rich forest wealth is an asset, and shifting cultivation, soil salinity and acidity are the major constraints. Central rice research institute , Cuttuck , Orissa West Coast Plains and Ghat Region TN, Kerala, Goa, Karnataka, Maharastra Average maximum temperature (ºC) Summer40.0 Average minimum temperature (ºC) Winter11.3 Average seasonal rainfall (mm)600-2000 Soil type = black, red, lateritic, and alluvial. Rich forest wealth and Western Ghats suitable for plantation crops are the main assets. The physiographic features are Western Ghats, plateau, river valleys, undulating rocky plains, and coastal plains. The western ghats is humid and the rest of the area is semi-arid. The rainfall = 60 to 200 cm. Salinity, alkalinity, erosion, and acidity are the major problems. Cropping systems: subsistence or commercial Rice. Wheat is taken after ground nut/pearl millet/rice sugarcane breeding research institute, Coimbatore, TN; central coffee research institute ,Chikmanglur, Kar.indian institute of horticulture research, Banglore Thanks for Watching Subscribe for More videos like on fb: https://www.facebook.com/Advance-Agricultural-Classes-209935129434632/ join our fb group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1600626926901456/
