Correct Answer - Option 4 : Soyabean

The correct answer is Soyabean.

  • Soybean is a pulse as well as an Oilseed crop.
    • Soybean is a legume crop and also is widely used as an oilseed.
    • Due to very poor cookability on account of the inherent presence of trypsin inhibitor, it cannot be utilized as a pulse.
    • It is now the second-largest oilseed in India after groundnut.

  • Major crops of India:
    • Kharif Crops: Sown in July and harvested in October. They include rice, jawar, bajra, maize, cotton, sugarcane, soybean, and groundnut.
    • Rabi Crops: Sown in October and harvested in March/April. They include wheat, barley, gram, tur, rapeseed, and mustard.
    • Zayad Crops: Sown from March to June. It includes watermelons, vegetables, moong, etc.
