#oceanography #Temperature

◇ The difference of maximum and minimum temperature of a day (24 hours) is known as daily range of temperature.

◇ The daily range of temperature of surface water of the oceans is almost insignificant as it is around 1°C only.

◇ On an average, the maximum and minimum temperatures of sea surface water are recorded at 2P.M. and 5 A.M. respectively.

◇ The diurnal range depends on the conditions of sky (cloudy or clear sky), stability or instability of air and stratification of seawater.

◇ The heating and cooling of ocean water is rapid under clear sky (cloudless) and hence the diurnal range of temperature becomes a bit higher than under overcast sky and strong air circulation.

◇ The high density of water below surface water causes very little transfer of heat through conduction and hence the diurnal range of temperature becomes low.

#Agriculture #Foodcrops

◇ Wheat is the second most important cereal crop in India after rice. India produces about 12% of the total wheat production of the world and is the second largest producer after China.

◇ It is primarily a crop of temperate zone. Hence, its cultivation in India is done during winter i.e., rabi season.

◇ The total area under the crop is about 29.8 million hectares in the country. The production of wheat
in the country has significantly increased from 75.81 million MT in 2006-07 to an all-time record high of 94.88 million MT in 2011-12.

◇ In terms of export, India ranks much behind countries like Russia and U.S.A. as most of its production is consumed internally.

2023-05-16 18:41:53 ■ RICE

#Agriculture #Foodcrops

◇ Rice is a staple food for the overwhelming majority of population in India.

◇ In India rice is grown in 43.86 million ha, the production level is 104.80 MT, and the productivity is about 2390 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics at a glance-2015).

◇ India ranks second in the world in terms of volume of rice produced but its productivity is low compared to the productivity levels of any countries in the world.

◇ Also, about 90% of the cultivated land belongs to Marginal, Small and Medium farmers which is another constraint in increasing the productivity of rice in the country. Hence, there is ample scope to increase the productivity of rice
in the country

◇ India is the leading exporter of rice in the world. During 2015-16, the country has exported globally about 40.45 lakh MT of Basmati rice and 63.66 lakh MT non-basmati rice. Also, India exports rice mostly to the Arab region (Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Iran and Kuwait).
