    Question

    In India, the ‘Aus’, ‘Aman’ and ‘Boro’ terms are associated with which crop from the following?

    A.

    Wheat

    B.

    Gram

    C.

    Sugarcane

    D.

    Paddy

    Correct option is D


    The correct answer is (d) Paddy.
    These terms are specific to the different growing seasons of paddy (rice) in India and are especially common in the eastern and northeastern parts of the country, such as West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh.
    These are Aus, Aman, and Boro.
    Aus: This refers to the rice crop planted in the pre-monsoon period (March to May) and harvested in the summer (June to September).
    It is typically grown in rainfed areas and requires less water compared to other rice crops.
    Aman: This is the main rice crop planted in the monsoon season (June to July) and harvested in the winter (November to December).
    It relies heavily on monsoon rains for irrigation.
    Boro: This refers to the rice crop planted in the winter (November to December) and harvested in the summer (April to May).
    It is typically grown in areas with irrigation facilities, as it requires more water than the Aus crop.
