Explanation
In India, cropping seasons are classified into Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid. Kharif crops are sown at the beginning of the monsoon (June–July) and harvested in September–October. Major Kharif crops include rice, maize, jowar, bajra, tur (arhar), moong, urad, cotton, jute, groundnut, and soybean.
Rabi crops are sown in the winter season (October–December) and harvested in spring/summer (April–June). Examples include wheat, barley, peas, gram, and oilseeds like mustard and rapeseed. Since gram, mustard, and rapeseed are all Rabi crops, only cotton (1) is a Kharif crop.
