Identify the crop which is grown in Kharif cropping season in Northern States of India.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Rice.

In the Kharif cropping season, which runs from June to September during the monsoon period in Northern States of India, paddy (rice) is a prominent crop. This season benefits from ample rainfall, making it ideal for growing crops that require significant water. Alongside paddy, other common Kharif crops include maize (corn), cotton, sorghum (jowar), and soybean. These crops are well-suited to the moist conditions provided by the monsoon rains, contributing significantly to the agricultural output of the region.
