Consider the following statements:

Coffee plant does not tolerate frost, snowfall, high temperature above 30°C and strong sun shine.

The lowest temperature for the growth of tea is 16°C.

Dry weather is necessary at the time of ripening of the coffee berries.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

Coffee plant requires hot and humid climate with temperature varying between 15°C and 28 °C and rainfall from 150 to 250 cm. It does not tolerate frost, snowfall, high temperature above 30°C and strong sun shine and is generally grown under shady trees. Prolonged drought is also injurious to coffee. Dry weather is necessary at the time of ripening of the berries. Stagnant water is harmful and this crop is grown on hill slopes at elevations from 600 to 1,600 metres above sea level.
Tea plantation requires temperature between 21°C to 29°C. High temperature is required in summer. The lowest temperature for the growth of tea is 16°C. Rainfall between150-250 cm is required for tea cultivation. It requires fertile mountain soil mixed with lime and iron. The soil should be rich in humus. Tea cultivation needs well-drained land. Stagnation of water is not good for tea plants. Heavy rainfall but no stagnancy of water, such mountain slopes are good for tea cultivation.
