Question:

Which one of the followings is NOT a crop of rice in West Bengal?

Options:

Aus

Zaid

Aman

Boro

Correct Answer:

Zaid

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Zaid

In southern states and West Bengal the climatic conditions allow the cultivation of two or three crops of rice in an agricultural year. In West Bengal farmers grow three crops of rice called ‘aus’, ‘aman’ and ‘boro’.

 "Zaid" is not a type of rice but rather refers to a cropping season that falls between the Kharif (monsoon) and Rabi (winter) seasons. It typically includes the cultivation of crops like vegetables, fruits, and other secondary crops during the summer months when temperatures are relatively high.
