Question

State reason why wheat is cultivated in Rabi season only?

Answer 1

• The rabi crops are those crops which are sown around mid-November after the monsoon rains are over and their harvesting begins in April or May.
  
• The most important rabi crops in India are wheat, barley, mustard, sesame, and peas.
  
• Each type of plants requires specific conditions for growth and maturation.
  
• Therefore, rabi crops cannot be grown in other seasons as do not grow properly and both the quantity and quality of crop obtained will be poor.
