Answer
Wheat is not grown in the eastern and in the extreme southern parts of India because the temperature required at the time of sowing wheat is 10-15°C which is not possible in these regions.
Also, wheat grows best in well drained loams and clay loam whereas the southern and eastern India have laterite and red soil.
Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of wheat in India.
