Definition of Rabi Crops

The term ‘Rabi’ is an Arabic word, which means spring. Rabi crops are the crops which are planted at the beginning of winter season and harvested in the spring season, in the South Asian countries, i.e. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. These are sown with the end of monsoon in the country, usually in late October or early November.

As the cultivation of rabi crops is done in dry season, these require timely irrigation to grow. The main rabi crops are wheat, gram pea, oat, barley, onion, potato, tomato and many seeds such as mustard, sunflower, rapeseed,

The difference between kharif and rabi crops can be drawn clearly on the following grounds:

Kharif crops refer to the crops sown in South Asian countries with the beginning of the rainy season. On the other extreme, Rabi crops imply the crops that are grown when the rainy season is over and the winter season begins.Kharif crops need a lot of water and hot weather to grow, whereas rabi crops require a warm weather for the germination of seeds and cold climate to grow.At the time of growth, Kharif crops require warm wet weather and shorter length of day for flowering. On the contrary, for growing rabi crops cold and dry weather is required and longer day length for its flowering.The sowing months of Kharif crops are June and July. Conversely, rabi crops are usually sown in October and November.Kharif crops are harvested in September and October. Unlike, the best time to harvest Rabi crops is in March and April.

Conclusion

Kharif and Rabi crops are primarily used to point out the right time to sow and raise a particular crop. Apart from these two, there is one more type of crop, which is grown in the summer season, i.e. from March to June, known as Zaid crops. These are cultivated for short duration, between Rabi and Kharif season. It includes watermelon, muskmelon, bitter gourd, cucumber, etc
