Can all crops and fruits be harvested in the same season?
No, all crops and fruits cannot be harvested in the same season. Different crops have different growing and harvesting seasons based on their requirements for temperature, rainfall, and daylight. For example, wheat is a winter crop while rice is typically a monsoon crop. Fruits like mango are harvested in summer, while oranges may be harvested in winter.
Explanation
The chapter explains the concept of 'Cropping season' and 'Season of fruiting'. Different plants have different seasonal requirements. The example of onion shows that some crops can be planted and harvested in different seasons, but this varies by plant type. Students learn to observe and record these seasonal variations in their biodiversity register.
