|
Answer» Tea requires a temperature ranging from 21°C to 29°C. Tea grows well in the regions which receive rainfall in between 150-200 cm. The soil should be well drained. However, stagnant water damages the tea crops.\xa0 Tea is the main beverage crop of India. Four geographical requirements for its growth are :(a) The tea plant grows best in tropical and sub tropical climate.(b) Tea bushes require warm and moist and frost free climate with temperature between 20°C to 30°C and annual rainfall of 150 to 250 cm.(c) Frequent showers evenly distributed over the year ensure continuous growth of tender leaves.(d) Deep, fertile, well-drained soil, rich in humus and organic matter are ideal for its growth.Hence, gently rolling topography in uplands is favourable for its cultivation. |
