Which one of the following crops is not a Kharif crop?
Explanation
In India, cropping seasons are primarily classified into Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid. Kharif crops are sown at the beginning of the monsoon season (June–July) and harvested between September and October. Common Kharif crops include Rice, Maize, Jowar, Bajra, Soya bean, Cotton, Groundnut, and pulses like Tur (Arhar).
Wheat is a Rabi crop, not a Kharif crop. Rabi crops are sown in the winter season (October–December) and harvested in the spring (April–June). Other examples of Rabi crops include barley, peas, gram, and mustard. Wheat requires a cool growing season and bright sunshine at the time of ripening, making it unsuitable for the heavy rainfall and high humidity of the Kharif season.
