Consider the following crops :
1. Cotton
2. Groundnut
3. Rice
4. Wheat
Which of these are Kharif crops?

Question

Accepted Answer

The question asks us to identify the Kharif crops from the given list. Kharif crops are sown with the onset of monsoon and harvested in the autumn season. Let's analyze each crop:

Cotton: Requires a warm and humid climate and a long growing season, making it a Kharif crop.

Groundnut: Also requires a warm climate and is grown during the rainy season, hence a Kharif crop.

Rice: Paddy requires a lot of water and is primarily grown during the monsoon season, classifying it as a Kharif crop.

Wheat: Wheat is a Rabi crop, sown in winter and harvested in spring.

Therefore, Cotton, Groundnut, and Rice are Kharif crops. Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:

A) 1 and 4: Wheat (4) is a Rabi crop, not Kharif.

B) 2 and 3 only: Cotton (1) is also a Kharif crop.

D) 2, 3 and 4: Wheat (4) is a Rabi crop.
