Question

What crops do we grow during the winter in our country? Do they grow in the same season in France?

• A. Kharif crops are grown during the winter in our country . They can be grown in France in the same season because it rains throughout the year in France.
• B. Orchards and berries are grown during the winter in the Himalaya. They are not grown in France because of the temperate climate.
• C. Rabi crops are grown in the winter because they do not require much rainfall. They grow in France too but not during the winter because it snows and hence no crops are cultivated during the winter.
• D. Kharif crops like wheat, peas, gram, barley are grown during winter in India. They are not grown in France because these crops cannot survive in the temperate zone.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rabi crops are grown in the winter because they do not require much rainfall. They grow in France too but not during the winter because it snows and hence no crops are cultivated during the winter.

Rabi crops like wheat, peas, gram and barley are grown in India during the winter. They cannot be grown during the winter in France since it is very chilly and snows during that time. The crops do not grow and the lands are kept fallow in winter. However, these crops are grown in France. Wheat is sown in autumn and harvested in the summer. Even rye, used for making breads and brewing beer, is an important crop cultivated in France.
