Explanation
In India, crops are broadly classified into Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid seasons based on their sowing and harvesting periods. Wheat is the primary cereal crop of the Rabi season (winter season). Rabi crops are typically sown between October and December and harvested from April to June. Wheat requires a cool growing season and bright sunshine during ripening.
- Paddy (Rice): The most important Kharif crop, grown with the onset of the monsoon.
- Maize and Millets: These are also primarily Kharif crops, though they can be grown in different seasons in specific regions.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Wheat is the second most important cereal crop in India after Rice and is the staple food in the north and north-western parts of the country.
