Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Sesamum is a Kharif crop in the north of India; in the south, it is a Rabi crop. Rabi crops are sown in winter, and Kharif crops are sown in the rainy season. Twelve per cent of the country's total cultivated area is dedicated to cultivating various oil seeds. Groundnut, mustard, coconut, sesame (til), soybean, castor seeds, cotton seeds, linseed, and sunflower are the principal oil seeds produced in India. The majority of them are used in cooking and are edible. To make soap, cosmetics, and ointments, some of them are also utilised as raw ingredients. About half of the main oilseeds produced in the nation are groundnuts, a Kharif crop. In 2011–12, Rabi crops included mustard and linseed. In rabi and Kharif, castor seed is planted as a crop.
Thus the correct statement would be Sesamum is a Kharif crop in the north.
