Answer
(i) The tropical sugarcane variety grown in Southern India is Saccharum officinarum which has a thicker stem and high sugar content; however, it cannot grow in Northern India. Saccharum barberi is a natively grown in Northern India.
These two varieties were crossed to get the desirable qualities of both (higher sugar content, thicker stem and the ability to grow in Northern India).
(ii)
| No | Crop | Variety | Insect Pests |
