Crops Definition
A crop is a plant that is cultivated or grown on a large scale. In general, crops are grown so they can be commercially traded. In other words, a crop is any plant that is grown and harvested extensively for-profit purposes.
Types of Crops
Two major types of crops grow in India. Namely, Kharif and Rabi
Kharif crop
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 crop
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.
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.
