Statements

  1. Groundnut is classified as a kharif crop in India, sown at the onset of the southwest monsoon and harvested in the autumn months.
  2. Groundnut cultivation in India is predominantly rain-fed, making yield outcomes in major producing regions closely linked to the spatial and temporal distribution of monsoon rainfall.
  3. Gujarat, particularly the Saurashtra region, cultivates groundnut primarily as an irrigated rabi crop, allowing yields to remain insulated from monsoon variability.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
