Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect. The word Kharif means ''autumn'' in Arabic. It is also called Monsoon Cropping Season, as it starts with the onset of the monsoon in June, and the crops are sown this month. It continues until the middle or end of September when the crops are harvested. This season's major crops are Rice, Maize, Jowar, Bajra etc. Rabi is also called Winter Cropping Season as it starts from either the end of autumn or the start of winter, i.e., from October - November and the crops are harvested at the beginning of summer. The crops mainly grown this season are Wheat, Barley, Peas, Gram etc.
The correct statement would be that Kharif crops are sown in monsoon in June and harvested in September.
