In India agriculture is depend on monsoon. These seasons can be divided into to three viz Kharif, Rabi and Zaid.
Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains towards the end of May in the southern state of Kerala during the advent of south-west monsoon season. As the monsoon rains advance towards the north India, the sowing dates vary accordingly and reach July in north Indian states. Rice, millet, maize, moong, turmeric, groundnut, cotton,etc. are cultivating during this season.
Rabi crops are are agricultural crops sown in winter and harvested in the spring. The word Rabi is Arabic origin which means spring. The rabi crops are sown around mid-November, after the monsoon rains are over, and harvesting begins in April/May. The crops are grown either with rainwater that has percolated into the ground, or with irrigation. A good rain in winter spoils the rabi crops but is good for kharif crops. Major crops during this season are wheat, oat, barley, linseed, sesame, cumin, coriander, mustard, fennel, pea, onion, tomato, potato, etc.
In the short duration between Rabi and Kharif crop season, mainly from March to June, are called Said crops. These crops are grown mainly in the summer season during a period . Examples watermelon,c cucumber, muskmelon, sunflower sugarcane.
