Understanding Cropping Seasons and Types

The video tutorial explains the three main cropping seasons: Kharif, Ravi, and Zaid. Kharif crops are sown with the onset of monsoon and harvested in autumn. Ravi crops require a cool growing period and are sown in winter, harvested in spring. Zaid crops are summer crops that do not rely on monsoon rains.
