In India, which of the following crop is not grown in dry-land farming?

Jute

The correct answer is Option (3) → Jute

• Dry-land farming is practised in regions with less than 75 cm annual rainfall. Crops grown here are hardy and drought-resistant such as ragi, bajra, and gram.

• Jute, on the other hand, requires high temperature and heavy rainfall (more than 150 cm) and is grown in wet regions like West Bengal, Assam, and Bihar. 

"Rainfed farming is classified on the basis of adequacy of soil moisture during cropping season into dryland and wetland farming. In India, the dryland farming is largely confined to the regions having annual rainfall less than 75 cm. These regions grow hardy and drought resistant crops such as ragi, bajra, moong, gram and guar (fodder crops) and practise various measures of soil moisture conservation and rain water harvesting. In wetland farming, the rainfall is in excess of soil moisture requirement of plants during rainy season. Such regions may face flood and soil erosion hazards. These areas grow various water intensive crops such as rice, jute and sugarcane and practise aquaculture in the fresh water bodies."
