Which of the following is NOT a Kharif crop?

Solution

Kharif crops, also known as monsoon crops, are sown in June or July and harvested in September. These crops are rice, maize, millet, sugarcane, ragi, pulses, soybean, groundnut, etc. Rabi crops are known as winter crops. They are grown in October or November. The crops are then harvested in spring. These crops require frequent irrigation because they are grown in dry areas. These crops are wheat, barley, oats, pulses, mustard, linseed etc. In between the Rabi and the Kharif seasons, there is a short season during the summer months known as the Zaid season. Some of the crops produced during Zaid season are watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops. Sugarcane takes almost a year to grow.
