CLASSIFICATION OF FRUITS BASED ON CLIMATIC REQUIREMENTS

CLASSIFICATION OF FRUITS BASED ON CLIMATIC REQUIREMENTS Agro-climatic zones of India  Agro ecological zone is defined as a land unit in terms of major climates, suitable for certain range of crops and cultivars. Fruits are broadly classified on the basis of their temperature requirement such as, temperate, subtropical and tropical. However, some fruits may be grown under more than one climate. For example, mango is grown under both tropical and subtropical climates. Grape and peach can be grown in both temperate and subtropical regions. The agro climatic zones of India are as follows.        Zones  Temperate Subtropical Tropical   North western North eastern  Central southern coastal   Characteristics of different zones                                                         ...
