Detailed Solution & Logic
April to June / अप्रैल से जून
📘 Explanation / व्याख्या:
Rabi crops are sown in winter (October–December) and harvested in spring (January–March). These crops require cool temperatures during their growing period and plenty of sunlight at the time of ripening.
Common Rabi crops include:
-
Wheat
-
Barley (Jau)
-
Gram (Chana)
-
Mustard
The northern states of India—Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan—are major Rabi-producing regions because of their fertile soil and winter climate.
रबी फसलें सर्दियों में बोई जाती हैं (अक्टूबर–दिसंबर) और वसंत ऋतु में काटी जाती हैं (जनवरी–मार्च)। इन फसलों को विकास के दौरान ठंडा मौसम और पकने के समय पर्याप्त धूप की आवश्यकता होती है।
प्रमुख रबी फसलें हैं:
-
गेहूं
-
जौ
-
चना
-
सरसों
भारत के उत्तरी राज्य जैसे पंजाब, हरियाणा, उत्तर प्रदेश, बिहार, राजस्थान रबी फसलों के प्रमुख उत्पादक हैं।
