Jowar (Sorghum bicolor), commonly known as Sorghum, is a staple food grain and a significant fodder crop in the Indian subcontinent. This paper addresses the botanical and agricultural classification of Jowar concerning the cropping seasons of India. While predominantly recognized as a Kharif crop due to its historical cultivation during the monsoon, Jowar exhibits a unique dual cropping nature. This study analyzes the agro-climatic requirements of the crop to determine its classification. The findings conclude that Jowar is cultivated in both seasons; however, it is primarily classified as a Kharif crop in northern and central India, while it serves as a major Rabi crop in the southern Deccan plateau. This paper explores the distinctions between these two cultivation patterns, the requisite climatic conditions, and the regional variations that dictate its classification.
