Zorluk: OrtaSoils, Natural Vegetation, and Agriculture in India

Which of the following statements regarding the pedo-climatic conditions required for plantation agriculture of tea and coffee in India are correct?

  1. Tea bushes require deep, friable, and well-drained acidic soil with high organic matter content.Cevap
  2. Coffee cultivation requires a warm, humid climate and is mostly confined to hill slopes receiving frost-free conditions.Cevap
  3. C
    Stagnant water around the root zone is essential to enhance the flushing of tender tea leaves.
  4. D
    Coffee plants grow optimally in highly alkaline saline soils found in coastal alluvial plains.

Cevap

The correct statements are that tea requires well-drained acidic soils rich in organic matter, and coffee cultivation demands a frost-free, warm, and humid climate on shaded hill slopes.
Tea requires light, acidic, humus-rich soil with high drainage capacity, making hill slopes ideal. Coffee requires frost-free, warm, and humid conditions provided by the sheltered hill slopes of southern India (such as Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze soil and drainage requirements for tea cultivation
Tea requires acidic soils (pHpH 4.5–5.54.5\text{--}5.5) and excellent drainage because water stagnation damages root systems.
Topographical slope is critical for tea to prevent waterlogging.
2
Examine climatic and relief conditions for coffee growing in India
Coffee requires warm, frost-free climates with temperature ranges between 15∘C15^\circ\text{C} and 28∘C28^\circ\text{C} on well-drained hill slopes (such as the Western Ghats).
Frost causes severe damage to coffee blossoms and berries.
