Q. Which of the following is not a Kharif crop?
Solution:
The Kharif crops include rice, maize, sorghum, pearl millet/bajra, finger millet/ ragi, arhar (pulses), soybean, groundnut, cotton etc. The rabi crops include wheat, barley, oats, chickpea/ gram, linseed, mustard etc.
A good rain in winter spoils the rabi crops but is good for Kharif crops. The major rabi crop in India is wheat, followed by barley, mustard, sesame, and peas. Peas are harvested early, as they are ready early: Indian markets are flooded with green peas from January to March, peaking in February.
