Question

Wheat, gram, pea, mustards are _________ crops.

Answer 1

Hint: Crops are plant or animal products that are produced for living or for profit. They are grown in large quantities and they are cultivated using proper production techniques and agricultural implements. The cultivation of crops depends upon the weather and soil condition. Most of the crops are food such as grains, vegetables or fruits but some of them are also produced for other purposes like making drugs, fibre etc.

Complete answer:
Wheat, gram, pea, mustard are rabi crops.
There are two main types of crops based on the season in which they are grown-
Kharif crops- Crops that are grown in monsoon season (June to October) are called kharif crops. They are also known as summer crops. These crops grow in hot and wet conditions. They are sown in the beginning of the rainy season and are harvested at the end of monsoon during September- October.
Examples of kharif crops are rice, maize, soybean, etc.
Rabi crops- Crops that are grown in the winter season or non-monsoon season ( November to April) are called rabi crops. They are also known as winter crops. These crops grow in cold and nearly dry conditions. They are sown in the month of October to November when the monsoon has retreated and are harvested in March- April before the advent of the summer season.

Examples of rabi crops are wheat, barley, gram, pea, mustard, etc.

Note:
Different crops require different climatic conditions, temperatures, and photoperiod for growth and maturity. Photoperiod is the duration of sunlight that influences the growth and flowering of plants.
There are other types of crops also like zaid crops, food crops, cash crops, etc.
Zaid crops are grown between the Kharif and Rabi seasons. Food crops are grown to feed humans. Cash crops are the crops that are produced to earn profit.
