Identify the INCORRECT pair of cropping season and related crop from the following.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rabi - Paddy.
Paddy (rice) is primarily a Kharif crop, sown with the onset of the monsoon in June-July and harvested in September-October. It requires high temperatures and a lot of water, which makes it suitable for the Kharif season. On the other hand, Rabi crops like wheat are sown in winter (October-November) and harvested in spring (March-April). Therefore, pairing paddy with the Rabi season is incorrect, while the other pairs are accurate.
