The cultivation of Rabi crops is associated with the winter season in India, typically sown between October and December and harvested in spring. These crops thrive in cool temperatures and are dependent on post-monsoon precipitation or irrigation. Examples of Rabi crops include wheat, barley, oats, mustard, chickpeas, and linseed. Rabi cultivation is crucial for maintaining a diverse agricultural calendar, balancing the cropping pattern in India. It helps maximize agricultural productivity by utilizing winter conditions and ensures a more stable food supply throughout the year.
