Question

Rabi crops grow from________ time period?
A. October-march
B. June-september
C. May-march
D. December-september

Answer 1

Hint: Crops are categorised into a wide range of categories based on a number of factors. Crops are classified as Kharif or Rabi depending on the season. Winter crops are also referred to as rabi crops. Wheat is classified as a Rabi crop. Consider the sowing and harvesting seasons.
Winter crops are also known as rabi crops. They're planted in October or November, then harvested in the spring. These crops require constant watering due to their production in dry environments. Wheat, gramme, and barley are some of the most widely produced rabi crops in India.

Complete answer:
Option A: Rabi crops are those that are grown during the winter months, from October to March. The seeds are usually planted at the start of the winter season and collected at the end of the winter or early spring. Wheat, gramme, barley, and other rabi crops are examples.
So, option A is correct.
Option B: Kharif crops, also known as monsoon crops or autumn crops, are domesticated rice plants that are grown and harvested in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh during the monsoon season, which lasts from June to November depending on the region.
So, option B is not correct.
Option C: Summer crops include paddy, corn, and other grains. Other Summer crops include Pumpkin, Cucumber, Bitter Rice, Corn, Cucumber, Melon, Pepper, Tomato, and various coarse Cereals, which are planted in March and harvested by the end of June.
So, option D is not correct.
Option D: Rabi crops are planted in mid-November and harvested in April/May, ideally after the monsoon rains have passed.
So, option D is not correct.

So, option A is the correct answer.

Additional information:
Kharif crops are the polar opposite of rabi crops in terms of cultivation scheduling, while rabi crops are sown during the dry season, i.e., during the winter. Wheat, barley, oats, chicken pea, linseed, mustard, and other Rabi crops are examples.
Aside from rabi and kharif crops, there is another type of crop known as Zaid, which contains seasonal fruits, vegetables, and fodder crops, among other things.

Note:
- Crops grow in different seasons, which serves as a basis for separating the various types.
- In Arabic, "kharif" means "fall season," which is also known as "monsoon crops."
- In Arabic, "Rabi" means "spring season," although it's also known as "winter crops."
