Difference between kharif and zaid corp |
|
Answer» Kharif crops 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. 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. Rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, groundnut, cotton are all Kharif crops. Zaid crops 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. Some EXAMPLES of Zaid crops are pumpkin, cucumber, bitter groud. Hope it helps.... |
