Rabi crops are also known as winter crops since they are sown in November and require less rainfall. Rabi means spring season in Arabic. Some examples of Rabi crops are pulses, mustard, oats, barley , and wheat.
These are crops that grow well in a hot climate with ample rainfall. They are sown at the onset of monsoon season in India and harvested between October and November. They are sensitive, and too much or too little rain at the wrong time can damage the crops. The efforts of a whole year go to waste. Rice is, without contention, one of the most important Kharif crops of India.
It is grown in areas with a high level of rainfall that is hot and humid. It is abundantly grown in the eastern and southern parts of India. However, some crops that require similar climatic conditions can be sown in the same season.
The main seasonal plants are divided into two broad categories, e. Let us see how Kharif crops differ from Rabi Crops! Kharif crops, which are also known as monsoon crops, are the crops which are grown during the monsoon or rainy season June to October.
Their seeds are sown at the beginning of the monsoon season and the crops are harvested at the end of the monsoon season. Kharif crops depend on the rainfall patterns. The timing and quantity of rainwater are the two important factors that decide the output of Kharif crops. The main Kharif crops grown in India include paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, cotton, sugarcane, groundnut, pulses etc.
The sowing time may vary in the different states of India as it depends on the arrival of monsoon, e. Rabi crops, which are also known as winter crops, are the crops that are grown in the winter season October or November. Their seeds are sown at the beginning of the winter season and crop is harvest at the end of the winter season or in the spring season. The rabi crops are cultivated in the dry season so timely irrigation is required to grow these crops.
Some of the main rabi crops of India include wheat, gram, oat, barley, potato, and seeds like mustard, linseed, sunflower, coriander, cumin, etc. They depend on rainfall. Unseasonal rainfall can damage Rabi crops. Kharif crops depend on rainfall patterns. The harvesting months are March and April. These crops are harvested in September and October.
Examples: Mustard, wheat, cumin, coriander etc. Examples: Rice, bajra, groundnut. Zaid Crops. The wide range of crops that grow in the short season between Kharif and Rabi crop seasons are known as Zaid crops. These are the months of March till July. Examples: Pumpkin, cucumber, bitter gourd etc. Rabi Crops Kharif Crops Rabi crops are sown at the end of monsoon or the beginning of winter. The crops that are sown in the winter season are called Rabi crops.
The Rabi means, when the crop is harvested. Crops that are grown in the winter season, from November to April are called Rabi Crops. Some of the important rabi crops are wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard. Oryza sativa , L. Guar F. Cymopsis tetragonaloba , Taub. Ricinus communis. Eleusine coracana , G. Hy Cotton.
