Mr. Palani is from Tamil Nādu, wishes to cultivate either Tea or Wheat. Whichone of the crops out of the two can he cultivate in his state? Substantiateyour answer with any two reasons.

Mr. Palani, being from Tamil Nadu, would be more suited to cultivate Tea. Here are two reasons to substantiate this answer:

1. Climate: Tea cultivation requires a cool and humid climate with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 30°C. Tamil Nadu, especially the Nilgiris district, has a suitable climate for tea cultivation.

2. Soil: Tea plants require well-drained, acidic soils rich in humus. The soil in many parts of Tamil Nadu, particularly in the hilly regions, is suitable for tea cultivation.

On the other hand, wheat cultivation requires a cool growing season and a bright, sunny and dry weather at the time of ripening, which is not very common in Tamil Nadu. The soil in Tamil Nadu may not be as suitable for wheat cultivation as it is for tea.
