    Question

    The optimum average temperature requirement for ripening of wheat is about:

    A.

    8–12 °C

    B.

    14–16 °C

    C.

    18–20 °C

    D.

    22–24 °C

    Correct option is B

    The Correct Answer is: (B) 14–16 °C
    Explanation:
    The optimum average temperature requirement for the ripening of wheat is typically between 14–16°C. During this temperature range, wheat grains mature properly, ensuring a good quality yield.
    Higher temperatures may accelerate ripening but can reduce grain quality, while lower temperatures may slow down the ripening process. The temperature range of 14–16°C is considered ideal for balancing proper grain development and maturation.
    Information Booster:
    • Wheat requires cooler temperatures during the ripening stage for optimal development.

    • Higher temperatures (above 20°C) can cause early ripening with potential yield loss.

    • Low temperatures (below 10°C) can delay ripening and negatively affect grain formation.
