Rabi Kharif Page

There is also a short intermediate season known as Zaid. This occurs during the summer months of March to June, filling the gap between the Rabi harvest and the Kharif sowing. Zaid crops are mostly vegetables and fruits that require warm, dry weather and constant irrigation. Common examples include watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, and bitter gourd.
