Which of the following is Kharif season in India?
There are three crop seasons in India which are as follows:
Kharif crops are sown in May-June and harvested in October-November. Kharif crops need less irrigation. Kharif crop season is divided into two sub-categories such as:
Bhadai Crop Season:- It includes those crops which need less time to be grown. For example, maize, jowar, paddy, bajra, millet, and oilseeds. Some annual crops are also grown in this season e.g. jute and sugarcane. These crops are sown in May-June and harvested in August-September.
Aghani Crop Season:- This season includes those crops which are sown during the monsoon season of July-August and harvested during November-December. Rice is the dominant crop in this season.
Rabi Crop Season:- These crops are sown in October-November and harvested in March-April. The important Rabi crops are wheat, grams, barley, rapeseed, and mustard. Rabi crops are largely unirrigated. The lowest temperature makes their growth possible even in the case of lower soil moisture.
Zaid Crop Season:- These crops are grown in the month of March to June. These crops are grown in well-irrigated areas or in wetlands. Green vegetables have an important place in these crops. The special quality of rice and maize crops are now grown in this season in well-irrigated lands.
