Recently three varieties of Cashew, namely Ullal-3, Ullal-4, and Vengul-7, were recommended for cultivation in Assam. (Langsoliet and Bokolia are examples of rain shadow regions in Assam) Given that the region is considered a rain shadow area, cashew cultivation is particularly suitable due to the crop’s ability to thrive in such conditions with minimal irrigation. Additionally, cashew is known for its resilience and can grow in various climatic conditions, making it an attractive option for farmers seeking additional income with minimal effort. ( Rain shadow region is a repetitive topic in APSC Exams. Also important are the names of the varieties. )
