  1. During summer, in addition to Kharif and Rabi crops, many places cultivate Zaid crops. These short-duration crops are grown between the Rabi and Kharif seasons, typically in the months of March to June. Zaid crops take advantage of the warm weather and are often irrigated. Examples include watermelon, cucumber, muskmelon, and various vegetables like tomato and capsicum. Zaid cultivation allows farmers to make productive use of the summer season, diversifying their crop portfolios and contributing to overall agricultural output. This three-crop classification helps optimize land utilization and ensures a continuous supply of crops throughout the year.
