Wheat production in India has always been regarded as a gamble with seasonal temperatures. Major parts of the country have tropical to subtropical climates where average winter temperatures remain high. The greatest risk of damage is in the drier areas (the Central and Peninsular Zones) where temperatures remain warm and the duration for wheat growth is rather short. Some 20 research centers are located in these two zones, which are responsible for the large range of improved varieties being sown under the various cultural situations in these regions. Recent research achievements and production technologies for these hot zones of India are discussed
