TYPES OF CROPS

The crops are of the following types depending upon the season in which they are grown:

Kharif Crops

  • The crops which are grown in the monsoon season in the month of June-September are known as Kharif crops. For eg., maize, millet, and cotton.

  • The seeds are sown at the beginning of monsoon season and harvested at the end of the monsoon season, usually in the month of October-November.

  • Such crops require a lot of water and hot weather for proper growth..

Rabi Crops

  • The name “Rabi” means “spring” – a word derived from Arabic.

  • The crops that are grown in the winter season and harvested in the spring, i.e., from the month of October to March are called Rabi crops.

  • Wheat, gram, and mustard are some of the Rabi crops.

  • Various agricultural practices are carried out to produce new crop varieties.

  • Such crops require a warm climate for the germination and maturation of seeds. They, however, require a cold climate for their growth.

Zaid Crops

  • Such crops are grown between the Kharif and Rabi seasons, i.e., between March and June.

  • These crops mature early.

  • Cucumber, pumpkin, bitter gourd, and watermelon are zaid crops.
