    Solution

    Punjab is not suitable for rubber cultivation due to its dry climate and absence of high humidity, essential for rubber plants. Kerala is the largest producer of rubber in India. Key Points: 1. Kerala accounts for 90% of India’s rubber production. 2. Tamil Nadu has significant plantations in the Nilgiri region. 3. Meghalaya grows rubber on a small scale in suitable areas. 4. Rubber requires a warm, humid climate with heavy rainfall. 5. Punjab’s climate is unsuitable for rubber growth. Bee Facts: • Tamil Nadu (a): Produces rubber in hilly regions. • Kerala (b): The leading producer of natural rubber. • Meghalaya (c): Small-scale rubber cultivation. • Punjab (d): Focuses on wheat, rice, and other cereals.
