Correct Answer: JuteYour Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option C — Jute. Jute is correctly identified as new alluvial soils of floodplains and deltas are well suited. Jute is also associated with retting in water separates the usable fibre from the stem. Another identifying fact about Jute is that new alluvial soils of floodplains and deltas are well suited. A further exam-relevant fact about Jute is that retting in water separates the usable fibre from the stem. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option A — Kharif Crops: Kharif Crops is rice, maize, cotton and soybean are common examples. It is incorrect here because Kharif Crops is instead associated with harvesting usually occurs after the monsoon in autumn. • Option B — Rabi Crops: Rabi Crops is wheat, gram, mustard and barley are common examples. It is incorrect here because Rabi Crops is instead associated with irrigation is important where winter rainfall is inadequate. • Option D — Zaid Crops: Zaid Crops is watermelon, muskmelon and cucumber are common examples. It is incorrect here because Zaid Crops is instead associated with assured irrigation is often required because rainfall is limited. Exam Takeaway: Connect Jute with “new alluvial soils of floodplains and deltas are well suited” and “retting in water separates the usable fibre from the stem” for revision.

Important Notes

  • Jute is a natural bast-fibre crop obtained mainly from plant stems.
  • Source or location: warm humid conditions and abundant rainfall favour cultivation.
  • Basin or course: new alluvial soils of floodplains and deltas are well suited.
  • Important association: retting in water separates the usable fibre from the stem.
  • Jute should not be confused with Zaid Crops, which is short-duration crops grown between the rabi and kharif seasons.
