1. Seasonal Crop Varieties

2. Types of Crops
Did you know that India is the largest producer of bananas and mangoes in
the world? Also, it is the second-largest producer of wheat and rice. In
fact, Agriculture has always been the backbone of our country’s economy.
Ever since the Green revolution, we have started cultivating a variety of crops.

3. India is geographically a vast country so it has various food and
non-food crops which are cultivated in three main cropping
seasons which are rabi, kharif and zaid. Food crops- Rice, Wheat,
Millets, Maize and Pulses.

4. 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.

5. 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.

12. 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.

13. Farmers sow the seeds at the beginning of autumn, which results in a
spring harvest, unseasonal showers in November or December can
ruin the crop.

19. There is a short season between Kharif and Rabi season in
the months of March to July. In general, Zaid crops are
crops that grow in this season. Also, these grow on
irrigated lands. So we do not have to wait for monsoons to
grow them.
