(i) The crop shown in the picture is sugarcane. (ii) The climatic conditions required for its growth : Sugarcane is a crop of tropical and sub-tropical climate. It grows well in hot and humid climate with temperature of 21°C to 27°C and an annual rainfall between 75 cm and 100 cm. Frost is injurious for the plant. Heavy rainfall before ripening decreases sucrose content. Hence, frost-free weather, short, cool, dry winter during ripening and harvesting is favourable. (iii) Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are two major producing states of sugarcane.
