Explanation
The chapter defines kharif crops as monsoon crops (June-September), rabi crops as winter crops, and zaid crops as summer crops (Page 8-9). Alluvial soil is described as 'Soil rich in nutrients deposited by rivers' (Page 12). Alpine soil is 'Thin, rough, and rocky soil found in mountainous regions' (Page 12). Terrace farming is 'a method used on hilly slopes' where 'farmers cut steps or terraces into the hillside to create flat land for agriculture' (Page 20).
