Rabi crops
Rabi crops are crops grown during the Rabi season, which spans from October to March, after the monsoon rains. These crops are typically cultivated using stored water from irrigation or groundwater sources, rather than relying on recent rainfall. Common Rabi crops include wheat, barley, mustard, and chickpeas. The season's cool weather and dry climate conditions are ideal for their growth. Rabi crops are important for food security and agricultural economy, providing fresh produce during the months when summer crops are not available. Proper irrigation, fertilization, and timely harvesting are key to successful Rabi cropping.
