- Rabi crops are sown after the end of the monsoon season, typically in the months of October and November.
- The term "Rabi" means spring in Arabic, and these crops are harvested in the spring season, around April and May.
- Common examples of Rabi crops include wheat, barley, peas, gram, and mustard.
- These crops rely on the residual moisture in the soil from the monsoon rains and require a cool growing season and a warm, dry harvesting season.
Additional Information
- Rabi crops are also known as winter crops because they are sown in winter and harvested in the spring.
- These crops require less water compared to Kharif crops, making them suitable for regions with less rainfall.
- The Green Revolution in India significantly increased the production of Rabi crops, particularly wheat, due to the introduction of high-yielding varieties and improved agricultural practices.
