Q. Consider the following statements regarding major millet crops cultivated in India:

1. Jowar is a rain-fed crop predominantly grown in moist areas with minimal need for irrigation.
2. Bajra thrives well on sandy soils as well as shallow black soils.
3. Ragi is a crop of dry regions and grows well exclusively on red soil.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: Jowar is primarily grown as a rain-fed crop in moist areas and rarely needs irrigation. Bajra thrives on sandy and shallow black soils, adapted to arid regions. Ragi is a crop suited to dry regions but can grow in red, black, sandy, loamy, and shallow black soils—not just red soil. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
