In the Indian sub-continent, the crops grown on irrigated lands which do not have to wait for monsoons, in the short duration between Rabi and Kharif crop season, mainly from March to June, are called Zaid crops (also written as Zayid crops). These crops are grown mainly in the summer season during a period called the “Zayid crop season.” They require warm dry weather for major growth period and longer day length for flowering. The main produce are seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Examples
Water melon
cucumber
muskmelon
sunflower
sugarcane
Kharifcrops are sown in rainy season.
Rabi crops are sown in the winter as these crops do not have as much a requirement for water as the Kharif crops.
