Can you distinguish which of these pulses are grown in the kharif season and which are grown in the rabi season?
Pulses can be distinguished based on their cropping seasons. The pulses grown in the Kharif season include tur (arhar), moong, and urad. These crops are sown with the onset of the monsoon and harvested in September-October.
On the other hand, pulses grown in the Rabi season are peas and gram. These are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer. While masur is listed as a major pulse, the provided context does not explicitly categorize it under a specific season.
Explanation
The answer is derived by cross-referencing the lists provided in the textbook context. The text under 'Kharif crops' explicitly lists tur (arhar), moong, and urad. The text under 'Rabi crops' explicitly lists peas and gram. The section on 'Pulses' lists major pulses (tur, urad, moong, masur, peas, gram), but only the first five are categorized in the season-specific lists provided in the context.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the list of Kharif crops in the text. The text lists 'tur (arhar), moong, urad' among important Kharif crops.
Step 2: Identify the list of Rabi crops in the text. The text lists 'peas, gram' among important Rabi crops.
Step 3: Compare these lists with the major pulses mentioned (tur, urad, moong, masur, peas, gram).
Step 4: Conclude that tur, moong, and urad are Kharif pulses, while peas and gram are Rabi pulses based strictly on the provided text.
