India has 3 cropping seasons.

Kharif season- Starts from June and ends till October. It is directly related to Southwestern monsoon; hot and humid condition. Crops grown are rice, maize, millet, cotton, groundnut. The sowing begins from onset of monsoon (typically first week of June in Kerala) and as per monsoon onsets in different part of country (eg first week of July in Punjab when monsoon reaches there).

Rabi season- Starts from November and ends till March. It is the dry season when temperature is low during sowing and high during reaping. Crops grown are wheat, barley, mustard, tobacco. India is world’s second largest producer of wheat. UP, Punjab and Haryana are three biggest states producing wheat in India. Rabi word originates from Arabic language and it means spring.

Zaid season- Zaid Kharif: Aug-Sept and Zaid Rabi: Dec-Jan. This season is mainly used to grown vegetables as per the climatic conditions. For example: Cucumber, bitter gourd, water melon and musk melon are some of the zaid crop. These crops are grown on irrigated land and they do not wait for a monsoon.

India has three cropping seasons — rabi, kharif and zaid

RABI:-,

Rabi crops or rabi harvest are agricultural crops that are sown in winter and harvested in the spring in India and Pakistan. The term is derived from the Arabic word for "spring", which is used in the Indian subcontinent, where it is the spring harvest (also known as the "winter crop")

KHARIF:-,

Kharif crops, which are also known as monsoon crops, are the crops which are grown during the monsoon or rainy season (June to October). Their seeds are sown at the beginning of the monsoon season and the crops are harvested at the end of the monsoon season. Kharif crops depend on the rainfall patterns.

ZAID:-,

Zaid crops are summer season crops . They grow in long time period mainly from March to June. These crops are mainly grown in the summer season during a period called the "Zaid crop season." They require warm dry weather as major growth period and longer day length for flowering.
