Wheat, a cereal grain, is the second most important crop in India, after rice. It is grown in a variety of soil types, but it prefers well-drained loamy soils. It needs a temperate climate and rainfall of about 500-700 mm.
India is the world's second-largest producer of wheat, after China. The major wheat-growing states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Assam.
The cultivation of wheat involves several steps, including land preparation, sowing, irrigation, weeding, pest control, and harvesting. The crop is harvested by machine, and the wheat is then stored in silos. Wheat is a staple food for millions of people in India. It is also used to make a variety of products, such as bread, pasta, and noodles.
