Question

What is called the specific time for sowing?

Answer 1

The specific time for sowing crops is called the sowing season or sowing period.

This period varies based on factors such as:

1. Crop Type: Different crops have specific sowing times, such as Kharif, Rabi, or Zaid seasons in India.

   1. Kharif crops (e.g., rice, maize): Sown in the rainy season (June - July).

   2. Rabi crops (e.g., wheat, mustard): Sown in the winter season (October - November).

   3. Zaid crops (e.g., cucumber, watermelon): Sown between Rabi and Kharif (March - June).

2. Climatic Conditions: Temperature, rainfall, and soil moisture dictate the best time for sowing.
