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.
