Answers
Answer:
A crop is a plant or animal product that can be grown and harvested extensively for profit or subsistence. Crop may refer either to the harvested parts or to the harvest in a more refined state. Most crops are cultivated in agriculture or aquaculture. A crop may include macroscopic fungus, or alga.
Kharif crops are the crops which are sown at the beginning of the rainy season, e.g. between April and May. Rabi crops are the crops that are sown at the end of monsoon or at the beginning of winter season, e.g. between September and October. ... Major Kharif crops are rice, maize, cotton, jowar, bajra etc.
Cash crops are mainly grown for the international market, mostly for direct consumption but are also grown as raw materials for the manufacturing industries. Food crops on the other hand are grown for domestic consumption.
