Question

Which of the following is a Kharif crop?

• A. Wheat
• B. Rice
• C. Cucumber
• D. Mustard

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Indian agriculture categorizes crops into two main seasonal groups: Kharif and Rabi.

• Kharif Crops: Sown at the start of the monsoon (June), harvested between September and October.
• Rabi Crops: Sown with the onset of winter (October), harvested between March and April.

Rice is classified as a Kharif crop due to its requirement for ample water and warm temperatures, which align with the Indian monsoon season.

Consequently, Rice is the accurate identification.
