Explanation:

In India, tobacco is grown when the mean temperature is 20° to 27°C. When grown as a rainfed crop, it requires at least about 500 mm of well-distributed rainfall during crop growing season. It is not usually grown where rainfall exceeds 1200 mm during the season. Rainfall is undesirable during crop maturity, as gums and resins on the leaf get washed.
