Annual or perennial plants are two types of plants with different lifespans. Annual or seasonal crops complete their life cycle from seed to flower to seed within a single growing season. Hence, the seed bridges the gap between the two generations. The top or upper part of some perennial plants die in the winter and regrow in the spring, to the same root system. Few perennial plants keep their leaves throughout the whole year.
The main difference between annual and perennial plants is that the annual plants live for one growing season, their lifespan is shorter than the perennial crops, whereas perennial plants live for two or more growing seasons.
The season of cropping starts in the month of June and ends in October which is generally cultivated in the monsoon crops and harvested during the Kharif season. The seasons sowing starts in Mid-November and is harvested in the month of April or May is called Rabi season.
