Rice is the most important Kharif crop. It requires high temperature (above 25°C), high humidity, and annual rainfall above 100 cm.
Rabi crops are grown during the winter season, from October to December, and harvested in spring, from March to May. These crops require cool and dry weather to grow. The term "Rabi" comes from the Arabic word "rabi," meaning "spring," as these crops are harvested in spring. kharif and rabi crop
