Two natural factors that help in the cultivation of wheat are:
- Wheat is a temperate crop. In India, it is taken as Rabi crop. Winter temperature of North India provides most favourable conditions for wheat cultivation.
- The fertile friable loamy alluvial soils of clayey composition of the flat and well-drained Indo-Gangetic plains is best suited for wheat cultivation.
Two man-made factors that help in the cultivation of wheat are:
- Supply of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds with proper use of chemical fertilizers.
- Excellent irrigation system provided by a close network of canals.
