Kharif crops in India are sown in which season, and an example is:
Choose the correct answer
Rabi season (Nov–Dec); example: wheat
Kharif season (June–July); example: rice — sown at monsoon onset, harvested October
Both seasons simultaneously
Summer (February–March); example: sugarcane only
Correct Answer
B. Kharif season (June–July); example: rice — sown at monsoon onset, harvested October
Why is this the answer?
Kharif: sown at onset of monsoon (June–July), harvested October–November. Examples: rice, maize, cotton, sorghum, groundnut. Delta (water need) is higher as evaporation is high. Rabi: sown after monsoon (Nov–Dec), harvested March–April. Examples: wheat, mustard, gram. Irrigation need for Rabi is higher as rainfall is less.
