• India's wheat output depends heavily on weather conditions, especially during El Niño years.
• Learn how rainfall, snow, and temperature shifts affect crops.

Role of Weather in Wheat Growth

Weather plays a crucial role in determining wheat yields. Adequate rainfall supports crop development, but excessive rain can lead to localised flooding, damaging crops. In higher-altitude areas, snowfall can protect crops from frost damage, while spring snowmelt improves soil moisture and replenishes reservoirs, benefiting subsequent crops.
