Identify the crop based on the following information.It is known as the golden fibre. It grows well on well-drained fertile soils in the flood plains where soils are renewed every year.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Jute.
Jute is aptly named the "golden fibre" due to its lustrous, golden-brown sheen. It thrives in specific conditions: well-drained, fertile alluvial soils, particularly those found in flood plains. The annual renewal of these soils by silt-laden floodwaters provides essential nutrients, making these regions, like the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, ideal for its cultivation. This reliance on fertile, renewed soil and a hot, humid climate makes jute a vital crop in certain parts of South Asia.
