rabi crops are grown in winter and need irrigation, while kharif crops are grown in the monsoon season and depend on rainfall.
Rabi crops are sown only in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June. Eg, wheat, barley, peas, gram, and mustard.
Kharif crops are only grown with the onset of monsoon in different parts of the country, and these are harvested only in September-October. Eg: Rice, arhar, maize, black gram etc.
Rabi crops rely on irrigation and residual soil moisture. Kharif crops are primarily dependent on monsoon rains.
Rabi crops require cooler temperatures, moderate moisture for growth. Kharif crops require warm and wet conditions, and high rainfall for growth.
Rabi crops are long-day plants. Kharif crops are short-day plants.
