In West Bengal, how many rice crops are grown in a year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Three.

In West Bengal, three rice crops are typically grown in a year. These are:

  1. Aman (Autumn) – Grown during the monsoon season, between June and November.
  2. Boro (Winter) – Cultivated from December to May, in the winter season.
  3. Aush (Summer) – Grown during the summer months, typically harvested in August.

This practice of growing three crops annually helps in maximizing rice production, making West Bengal one of India's top rice-producing states.
