What are the cropping patterns in which crops are divided.Explain them with ex.?
Answers
the three types of cropping patterns are:
i)Rabi crop ( i.e. Spring crop in Arabic ) (crop period October-February): Crops which are grown during the winter season are called Rabi crop. Seeds of these crops are sown in the beginning of the winter season. After maturation of crops, they are harvested in the spring(March-April). A good rain in winter spoils the rabi crops but is good for kharif crops. Rabi require low temperature(10°C to 25 °C) and low rain fall(50cm to 100cm) comparing to Rabi crop, So it can grow in North India (Subtropical Zone) .
Example: Wheat, Mustard…
ii) Kharif crop (i.e. Autumn crop in Arabic ) (crop period July-October): Crops which are grown during the monsoon(rainy season) are called kharif crop. Seeds of these crops are sown in the beginning of the monsoon season (July). After maturation, these crops are harvested in the Autumn season (Oct). Kharif require high temperature(25°C to 35 °C) and high rain fall(150cm to 200cm)
Example: rice, cotton, sugarcane, turmeric, moong, corn
iii)zaid crops:On the Indian sub-continent, the crops grown on irrigated lands which do not have to wait for monsoons, in the short duration between Rabi and Kharif crop season, mainly from March to June, are called Zaid crops (also written as Zayad crops). These crops are grown mainly in the summer season during a period called the "Zayad crop season." They require warm dry weather for major growth period and longer day length for flowering. The main produce are seasonal fruits and vegetables.
