Question. Give two examples of each. (a)Kharif crop (b) Rabi Crop
Answer: The agricultural crop management annual term for India ranges from July and extends till next June. The crop cultivation term or annual season is vital for learning as it provides us with an idea of what types of crops are grown according to the seasonal variation of India and how the terms Kharif and Rabi play a crucial role in dividing the agricultural season of India. The Kharif crops are the specific crops that are cultivated between July extending to October. The cultivation period of Kharif crops is generally termed as the phase of monsoon under the southwest type.
The Rabi types of crops are generally cultivated during the winter especially between October and March. The Kharif and Rabi crops can simply be termed as cropping patterns that segregate the cropping variations according to the seasonal change observed in India. The Kharif and Rabi cropping patterns are also quite common to be followed and observed in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh. The origin of the words Kharif and Rabi are said to have originated from the Arabic lingual where Kharif refers to autumn and Rabi is equivalent to spring.
Examples:
- Kharif: Rice, sorghum, etc.
- Rabi: Wheat, oats, etc.
