The cropping pattern in India is broadly divided into Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid seasons, a classification system governed by the timing of the southwest monsoon and temperature regimes.
Kharif crops are also known as monsoon crops.
Paddy (rice) requires standing water, making it a quintessential Kharif crop.
Major Kharif crops include maize, jowar, bajra, soybean, and cotton.
Rabi crops like wheat and mustard are sown in winter (October-November) and harvested in spring (March-April).
Gram is a Rabi pulse crop requiring moderate, cool weather for optimal growth.
Wheat, Mustard, and Gram are classified as Rabi crops because they do not tolerate the high moisture levels provided by the monsoon.
