INTRODUCTION
Rabi crops, also known as Rabi harvests, are crops that are planted during the winter or cold season. In the spring, they are harvested. Rabi is an Arabic term that means “spring.” As a result, the word “Rabi” is often used in the subcontinent. Rabi is harvested in our subcontinent between November and April. The rainwater gathered this season is the primary source of water for these plants.
Some famous rabi crops and vegetables which are grown in the winter season are mentioned here:-
- Wheat: After rice, wheat is the country’s second most important food crop in terms of both acreage and production. It covers 26 per cent of the country’s total land area and produces 36.5 per cent of the country’s total cereal production. India is the world’s second-largest wheat producer, accounting for about 13% of total land and 12% of global wheat production. WATER PUMPS AND GENERATORS are manufactured by the PADCORP which enhances the experience of the farmers during agriculture and farming of the crops.
- Pulses: Pulses are annual crops that produce one to twelve grains or seeds per year. The term “pulses” refers to crops that are only harvested as dried grains, as opposed to other vegetable crops that are picked while still green. MULCHING SHEETS of PADCORP Company are protective covers that are used to reduce the effects of the weather. These covers are utilized at the start of the vegetative season and stretch to the ground. It not only regulates moisture content, but also humidity and carbon dioxide levels, as well as creates the correct temperature and microclimate for the crops. It suppresses weeds and reduces the amount of energy they receive. It not only prevents soil erosion but also keeps its saltiness. Fertilizer waste must be avoided.

- Onions: We’ve had a love-hate relationship with onions for a long time, especially with the price swings over the last few years. Onion is one of the easiest crops to grow, not just in the winter but throughout the year. Don’t be fooled by their awful odour or capacity to make you cry; these small bulbs are high in Vitamin C, which helps to keep your immune system in good shape.
