Difference between Kharif and Rabi Crops
Crop refers to plants of same origin or type that are sown at one place on a large scale. Each crop requires specific climatic conditions for proper growth. 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.g. crops that are sown at the beginning of the rainy season or monsoon, are called Kharif crops and the crops that are sown at the beginning of winter season are called Rabi crops. Let us see how Kharif crops differ from Rabi Crops!
Kharif 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.g. in southern states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu the seeds are usually sown towards the end of May and in northern states like Punjab, Haryana the seeds are sown in the month of June.
Rabi Crops:
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.
