Which of the following is NOT one of the Rabi crops?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Cucumber.

  • Rabi crops are sown in the winter season (from October to December) and harvested in the spring or early summer (from March to April).

  • Wheat, barley, and mustard are all major Rabi crops grown in cold weather conditions.These crops thrive in low temperatures and require less water compared to Kharif crops.

  • Cucumber, on the other hand, is a summer crop and is typically grown in the Zaid or Kharif season, which needs a warm and humid climate.

  • Cucumber is widely consumed during summer and does not require the cool conditions that Rabi crops need.

  • Therefore, Cucumber is not a Rabi crop, making it the correct answer.
