    Solution

    Crops which are grown during the winter season (October- March) are called Rabi crops. Seeds of these crops are sown in the beginning of the Winter season. After maturation of crops, they are harvested at the end of the winter season (April- May). The crops that are sown in the rainy season are called kharif crops. (also known as the summer or monsoon crop) in India. Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains in July, during the south-west monsoon season. Ex – Cotton, Chilly, Maize. 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.
