Can wheat be grown in Southern Afghanistan?

Question

Or IS wheat grown in Southern Afghanistan?

Answer 1

There may be limitations to the soil and water that would inhibit the large scale growth of wheat but you should be able to grow some variety of wheat on a small plot. Now the question is where would one go to for finding the correct variety? US experimental stations, Afganistan government, UN reseach data, or counties nearby who grow wheat in the climate you want to try and grow the wheat.

Answer 2
