Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect. Rice is a Kharif crop as it is harvested in the monsoon season. The most commonly used crop of the Kharif season is rice, which is extracted from the main crop, ‘Paddy’. West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana are the states where rice is produced in the most quantity. The three types of rice are Aus, Aman and Boro. The conditions favourable for rice production are that the temperature should be above 25 degrees Celsius, rain required at least 100 cm, and plenty of labour.
The correct statement would be that rice is mainly grown in West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana. In contrast, the Ganga-Satluj plains in the northwest and the black soil region of the Deccan are regions where wheat is grown.
