Question

Define Kharif and Rabi crops with examples.

Answer 1

Kharif Crops

The word “Kharif” is Arabic for autumn since the season coincides with the beginning of autumn or winter. As cultivation of these crops happens in the monsoon season, another name for Kharif crop is monsoon crop. The Kharif season differs in every state of the country but is generally from June to September. We sow the crop at the beginning of the monsoon season around June and harvest by September or October.

Rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, groundnut, cotton are all Kharif crops.

Rabi Crops

The Arabic translation of the word”Rabi”, is spring.  As these crops harvest in the springtime hence the name. The Rabi season usually starts in November and lasts up to March or April. Cultivation of Rabi crop is mainly through irrigation since monsoons are already over by November. In fact, unseasonal showers in November or December can ruin the crop. Farmers sow the seeds at the beginning of autumn, which results in a spring harvest.

Wheat, barley, mustard and green peas are some of the major rabi crops that grow in India.
