winter rice crop is a long duration crop and summer rice crop is a short duration crop. at some places in the eastern and southern parts of india, rice crop of short duration is followed by the rice crop of long duration. winter rice crop is raised preferably in low-lying areas that remain flooded mainly during the rainy season. autumn rice is raised in uttar pradesh, maharashtra, rajasthan, madhya pradesh, punjab and himachal pradesh. summer, autumn and winter rice crops are raised in west bengal, andhra pradesh, assam and orissa. summer rice crop is raised on a small scale and on a small area. however, winter rice crop is actually the leading rice crop accounting for a major portion of the total hectare under rice in all seasons in the country. moreover, in the last few years, several steps in order to augment yield per hectare were taken up very seriously at all levels. india ranks fourth in the production of wheat & second in production of rice in the world. favorable geographical condition for wheat cultivation: in india, wheat is a winter crop. wheat requires a moderate cool climate with moderate rain. in india, it is grown in winter. it needs temperature 10 degree c to 15 degree c for its cultivation. it thrives well in an average temperature of 16-degree c. warm and sunny weather is essential at the time of ripening. wheat requires a rainfall of 50 cm to 100 cm during the growing season. too much rain is injurious to the plant. on irrigated lands, a rainfall of 40 cm to 50 cm is sufficient.

the per-hectare rice yield in cambodia is among the lowest in asia. the average yield for the wet crop is about 0.95 ton of unmilled rice per hectare. the dry-season crop yield is traditionally higher—1.8 tons of unmilled rice per hectare. new rice varieties (ir36 and ir42) have much higher yields—between five and six tons of unmilled rice per hectare under good conditions. unlike local strains, however, these varieties require a fair amount of urea and phosphate fertilizer (25,000 tons for 5,000 tons of seed), which the government could not afford to import in the late 1980s.
