Detailed Solution

Wheat is not a plantation crop. Another form of industrial farming is plantation farming. This kind of farming cultivated a single crop across a huge region. On the plantation, agriculture and industry coexist. With the aid of migrant labourers, plantations use capital-intensive inputs to cover enormous land areas. In each industry, the output is employed as the raw material. Bananas, sugarcane, rubber, tea, coffee, and other plantation crops are significant in India. The use of increased dosages of contemporary inputs, such as high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides, to achieve better productivity is the defining feature of commercial or plantation farming.
