Explanation

Wheat requires moderate temperatures (15-25°C is optimal) and moderate rainfall (50-75 cm annually) for good cultivation. High temperatures with heavy rainfall promote disease and lodging, while very low temperatures and low rainfall stunt growth. The temperate regions with these moderate conditions are ideal for wheat production.
