Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true.

Jowar is primarily a Kharif crop but can also be grown as a Rabi crop in areas with good irrigation. Crops like Jowar can be grown on less fertile soil and require moderate rainfall and moderate temperature. It is a rainfed crop grown in moist areas and depends on the south west monsoons and is sown by using the broadcasting method. Kharif crops are sown during the onset of monsoon and harvested at the end of monsoon season during the months of September and October.
