Name the fibre crops and discuss the climatic conditions required for their growth.


The major fibre crops found in India are Jute, Natural Silk, Cotton, and hemp.
The golden fibre is the other name for Jute.
Jute, Cotton and hemp are obtained from soil.
Natural silk is derived from cocoons of silkworms that are fed on green leaves of mulberry.
Rearing of silk worms for the production of silk fibre is called as Sericulture.
Final Answer:
Two major fibre crops are jute and cotton.
Jute grows well on alluvial soil and requires high temperature, heavy rainfall and humid climate.
Cotton requires high temperature, light rainfall, two hundred and ten frost-free days and bright sunshine for its growth.
