Q1. Which of the following is not a Kharif crop?
Explanation
Kharif crops are generally sown with the monsoon and harvested after the rainy season. Maize is a common Kharif crop in many parts of India. Pearl millet is also a typical rain-fed Kharif crop, especially in dry regions. Rice is the major Kharif food crop because it needs plenty of water during growth. Gram, however, is a Rabi pulse sown in the post-monsoon winter season and harvested in spring. Therefore, gram is not a Kharif crop.
