Which one of the following is a major Kharif crop in India?

ARice

BWheat

CSugarcane

DTea

Answer:

A. Rice

Read Explanation:

  • In India, crops are broadly classified into three main seasons based on the monsoon cycle: Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid.

  • Rice is the quintessential Kharif crop because it requires high temperatures, high humidity, and a large amount of water (heavy rainfall) to grow.

  • Wheat: This is the most important Rabi (winter) crop in India. It is sown when temperatures drop and harvested as the heat of summer begins.

  • Sugarcane: This is actually a perennial or "long-duration" crop. It stays in the field for almost an entire year (10–12 months), though it is often sown during the Kharif period.

  • Tea: This is a plantation crop. While it grows in tropical and sub-tropical climates, it isn't categorized by a single sowing/harvesting season like seasonal field crops.
