Which Indian agriculture term is correctly associated with important geographical fact “gur, khandsari and molasses are important associated products”, and also with “a long-duration commercial crop used chiefly for sugar production”?

Correct Answer: Option D — Sugarcane. Sugarcane is correctly identified as gur, khandsari and molasses are important associated products. Sugarcane is also associated with a long-duration commercial crop used chiefly for sugar production. Another identifying fact about Sugarcane is that fertile deep soil and reliable irrigation favour high yields. A further exam-relevant fact about Sugarcane is that gur, khandsari and molasses are important associated products. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option A — Cotton: Cotton is dry weather during boll opening supports fibre quality and harvesting. It is incorrect here because Cotton is instead associated with a major fibre crop generally associated with the kharif season. • Option B — Jute: Jute is retting in water separates the usable fibre from the stem. It is incorrect here because Jute is instead associated with a natural bast-fibre crop obtained mainly from plant stems. • Option C — Kharif Crops: Kharif Crops is harvesting usually occurs after the monsoon in autumn. It is incorrect here because Kharif Crops is instead associated with crops generally sown with the onset of the southwest monsoon. Exam Takeaway: Connect Sugarcane with “gur, khandsari and molasses are important associated products” and “a long-duration commercial crop used chiefly for sugar production” for revision.
