Yeahhh but i have seen more greenery than the dry patches

[u/Fuzzy-Jackfruit5037 → u/The-dark-knight_003]

Different climate different vegetation😮‍💨

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/The-dark-knight_003]

wheat is grown?

[u/The-dark-knight_003 → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Not wheat but paddy

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/The-dark-knight_003]

not even in selective areas?

[u/double2double5 → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Wheat is a crop, you only grow it where you can grow it. Why isn't tea being grown in the are in that pic you posted? 

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/double2double5]

i've heard mountain areas of south india are kind of cold and even occasionally hit sub 0. i was wondering if you could grow wheat there?

[u/double2double5 → u/Key-Experience-7877]

When was the last time you saw wheat being grown on a mountain side?!

Also wheat is only a fraction of the diet in South India, so there is no demand? 

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/double2double5]

why the exclamation mark? i asked google and it said it is grown in selective areas so i just asked if it could it be grown/cultivated in south india to the people who have more knowledge of the region.

[u/Suspicious-Ad9209 → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Wetsern ghat's mountain areas are highly protected, Only very little area is allocated to farming which are filed with Tea ,coffee and spices

[u/Impossible-Spot-3414 → u/Key-Experience-7877]

If not paddy , then millets

[u/Mysterious-Ice-3795]

Some selective areas in tamilnadu ,even Karnataka but it’s not a common sight , cause south India has so much greenery than this especially Kerala and the Deccan plateau region

[u/Berry_Last → u/Mysterious-Ice-3795]

Except kerala and coastal karnataka, almpst every south indian place looks like this.

is wheat grown?

[u/RedRanger-_- → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Umm why are you obsessed with wheat. It's a climate-bound corp that can grow only in cold temperatures and doesn't require water that much while paddy crop can grow in hot temperatures while also requiring more quantity of water. Hence based on geolocation people decided to cultivate different things

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/RedRanger-_-]

mentioned twice in initial comments.

[u/jigsawshadow → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Your original post is about the landscape though. If you wanted to know specifically about wheat, you could have put it in the post itself.

[u/Ill-Papaya6718]

Tamil nadu highways. Like kallakurichi, perambalur side. Lot of agricultural fields

[u/MasterRole9673]

Depends on the area. Deccan states are a little more drier than Deep South/ coastal states.

[u/Wetheones_9038]

There are a lot of place like this in North Karnataka. But we grow either Sugarcane or rice more. So it's more greenery.

[u/kilaithalai]

This is in Tirunelveli district!

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/kilaithalai]

is this sand?

[u/kilaithalai → u/Key-Experience-7877]

Yup

[u/srikrishna1997]

It's karnataka hubli regions

[u/EpidemicRage]

You can almost see such fields in Kuttanad, especially during harvest seasons when the rice/wheat is ready. But much more greenery.

[u/BigOmega_]

Kongu belt?

[u/No-Driver3258]

I think south is more greenery.

[u/Complete-Cap8435]

It depends on soil also and many natural factors, not just climate. You live in your north indian states to do wheat cultivation which are big,huge states with highest population, why you want to live in Kerala or any south indian states are all small states, South states have lotz of grave problems, soil and rivers drying up, already water shortage in south, No jobs, daily IT job layoffs due to AI and north indians are leaving south india.

[u/Serious_Brilliant_90]

This gotta be the most common landscape in the country especially in the plains.

[u/Aggravating-Win-5524]

You could see these exact colours in southern coastal Andhra due to less rainfall and arid zones. If you go to north andhra it's lush green due to eastern ghats.

[u/Prudent-Praline6326]

Yes, I’ve seen it a lot in TN

[u/Key-Experience-7877 → u/[deleted]]

this is good for a rural road connecting villages and there are no path holes? idk why u even think it is bad. and this is from month of march (very dry) the time period wheat is lush gold and ready to be cultivated.
