Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The most important cereals of India are rice and wheat. Almost in every part of the country, these two crops are grown either as primitive agriculture for personal use or as commercial crops to meet the needs of the public. These crops are grown vividly throughout India. Some of the basic requirements needed for cultivating rice and wheat can be quite different from each other. For instance, for rice cultivation, the required temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius, with rainfall of 100 cm above, and it is an important Kharif crop. Wheat cultivation needs low temperatures, around 10 to 15 degrees celsius, when sowing the seeds, with 50 to 75 cm of rainfall, and it is an important rabi crop. Hence the correct statement would be, wheat and rice are the most important cereals in India.
