in which category of crop do u place wheat and rice?
Answers
Wheat is a example of rabi crops. And rice is a example of kharif crop.
Answer:
rice is a Kharif and wheat is a rabi crop.
Agriculture has traditionally been the cornerstone of the Indian economy. In India, two primary crop categories are:
1. Kharif crops:
- The term "monsoon crop" refers to crops that are cultivated during the monsoon season.
- Although the Kharif season varies from state to state, it normally lasts from June to September. We sow the crop in June, and it is ready for harvest in September or October. Rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, peanut, and cotton are among the Kharif crops.
India is the world's second-largest producer of rice. India produces 20% of the rice used around the globe. Rice is one of the most important crops grown in the country. It is a common food in many Indian states.
2. Rabi crops:
- The Rabi season typically starts in November and lasts through March or April. The Rabi crop is primarily grown using irrigation because the monsoon season ends in November.
- The seeds are sown by farmers at the beginning of autumn, and a spring harvest follows. In India, significant rabi crops such wheat, barley, mustard, and green peas are grown.
India is the world's second-largest producer of wheat. This rabi crop provides the majority of the country's agricultural income. Indians consume wheat mostly in the north of the nation. Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh are the three states that produce the majority of India's wheat.
hence, rice (Kharif) and (wheat) are the most important crops in India.
