Rabi crops are winter crops sown in October-December and harvested in April-June. Kharif crops are monsoon crops sown in June-July and harvested in September-October. Rice, Bajra, and Ragi are primarily Kharif crops in Northern India. Barley is a significant Rabi crop grown in the winter season in Northern India.

Major Rabi crops in India include wheat, barley, gram, peas, mustard, and rapeseed. Major Kharif crops include rice, maize, jowar, bajra, tur (arhar), moong, urad, cotton, jute, groundnut, and soyabean.

The timing of sowing and harvesting for Rabi and Kharif crops is primarily determined by the monsoon season and the availability of water, as well as temperature requirements for the crops. Some crops are grown in a shorter season between Rabi and Kharif, known as Zaid crops (e.g., watermelon, cucumber).
