›️ India has three cropping seasons:-
» Rabi
» Kharif
» Zaid
- Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June.
- Some of the important rabi crops are wheat, barley,peas,gram and mustard.
- Availability of precipitation during winter months due to the western temperature cyclones helps in the success of these crops.
- However, the success of the green Revolution in Punjab, Haryana, western uttar Pradesh and parts of Rajasthan has also been an important factor in the growth of the above mentioned rabi crops.
- Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon in different parts of the country and these are harvested in September - October.
- Important crops grown during this season are paddy,maize,jowar,bajra,red gram,green gram,black gram,uraddal, cotton,jute, ground nut and soyabean.
- In between the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is a short season during the summer months known as the Zaid season.
- Some of the crops produced during “zaid” are watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and floder crops.
→ Agriculture crops depends on seasons and natural resources such as soil, water and sunshine for cultivation.
→ Temperature and humidity conditions are important.
→ Some crops can be cultivated only in specific season regardless of the availability of water and other inputs.
→ Therefore in any region different crops are grown in different seasons.
