Solution
Kharif crops, such as paddy, are typically produced during the rainy season due to their high water requirements. The wheat crop requires less water to grow. The seeds are either killed in excess water due to the rainy season and a lack of oxygen or if seeds germinate, the seedlings are unable to breathe in waterlogged conditions and will die.
