Which one of the following is a rabi crop?
(a) Rice
(b) Gram
(c) Millets
(d) Cotton
Answer:
(b) Gram ✅
Explanation:
Rabi crops are sown in winter (October-November) and harvested in spring (March-April). They require cool weather for growth and warm weather for harvesting.
- Gram is a Rabi crop as it is sown in winter and harvested in spring.
- Rice and Millets are Kharif crops, grown in the rainy season (June-September).
- Cotton is also a Kharif crop, as it needs warm temperatures and a long growing season.
Rabi crops, like gram, wheat, and mustard, play a vital role in Indian agriculture, providing essential food grains and pulses. 🌾❄️
