Which of the following is NOT a kharif crop?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Wheat

Kharif crops, also known as monsoon crops, are sown with the onset of the monsoon season (typically June-July) and harvested around September-October. They require warm, humid conditions and abundant rainfall for their growth. Examples include rice, maize, jowar, bajra, and cotton.

Wheat, on the other hand, is a rabi crop. Rabi crops are sown in the winter season (October-November) and harvested in spring (March-April). They require a cooler, drier climate for optimal growth and are often irrigated.
