Answer
(i) Punjab and Uttar Pradesh grow wheat extensively.
(ii) Climatic features that have helped these states in this respect are-
- Cool and moist climate for sowing and warm, dry climate for ripening. Ideal temperature ranges from 10-15°C at the time of sowing and 20-25°C during harvesting.
- Annual rainfall of about 80 cm. Winter rain caused due to western disturbances are beneficial for the crop.
