India has three distinct crop seasons in the northern and interior parts of the country, namely Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid.

Important Points

Lets' look at the cropping season of India:

• The Kharif season (June-September) largely coincides with Southwest Monsoon under which the cultivation of tropical crops are possible.
  • Major Crops- Rice, Cotton, Jute, Jowar, Bajra, and Tur.
• The Rabi season (October-March) has low-temperature conditions which help in the cultivation of temperate and subtropical crops.
  • Major Crops- Wheat, Gram, and Mustard.
• The Zaid season (April-June) is a short duration summer cropping season beginning after harvesting Rabi crops.
  • Major Crops- Watermelons, Cucumbers, Vegetables, and Fodder Crops.

From the above, we can conclude that Wheat is not a Kharif crop as it is grown in the Rabi season.
