  • Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains in July, during the southwest monsoon season.
  • The main monsoon season in India runs from June to September.
  • The Kharif crops include rice, maize, sorghum, pearl millet/bajra, finger millet/ragi (cereals), arhar (pulses), soybean, groundnut (oilseeds), cotton, etc.
  • The crops grown in winter from November to April are known as the rabi crops
