Q. Consider the following statements about the Ancient “Khapli” Wheat variety:

1. It is widely grown in eastern and north-eastern India
2. The variety forms more than 50% of all wheat grown in India
3. It is also known as winter wheat

Which of the above statement is correct?
Answer: None of them
Notes: Khapli wheat is traditionally cultivated on a limited scale in Karnataka, southern Maharashtra, Saurashtra region of coastal Gujarat, parts of Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Second statement is incorrect because Khapli wheat forms only 1% of all wheat grown in India. Third statement is again incorrect because “Khapli” wheat is planted in spring and harvested in mid or late summer and is known as summer wheat.
