5 High-Yield Crops Perfect for the Monsoon Season in India

Paddy (Rice)

The ultimate monsoon crop. Rice flourishes in standing water, clayey soil, and humid conditions with steady rainfall.

Maize (Corn)

Versatile and fast-growing. Maize thrives in loamy or alluvial soils with moderate rainfall and is ideal for food and fodder.

Pulses (Arhar, Moong, Urad)

Short-duration, protein-rich crops that fix nitrogen and improve soil fertility. Well-suited for rain-fed, well-drained fields.

Cotton

A major commercial crop. Cotton grows best in black soil with moderate rainfall and warm temperatures, but needs pest control.

Groundnut (Peanut)

An oilseed staple. Groundnut thrives in sandy loam soil with 50–75 cm of rainfall, but requires good drainage to avoid disease.

Final Takeaway

From paddy to groundnut, these crops offer strong returns during the monsoon. Smart planning and timely sowing ensure a profitable harvest.
