Crop calendar
What can go in the ground this month, and when it comes out.
Sown with the south-west monsoon and harvested after it. The main season for most of India.
Sown as the monsoon withdraws, grown on residual moisture or irrigation, harvested in spring.
The short summer season between rabi and kharif. Needs irrigation and suits quick crops.
Planted once and cropped for several years, or sown whenever water allows.
- MaizeRabiCereals
Rabi maize yields higher than kharif where irrigation is reliable.
- BarleyRabiCereals
Tolerates saline and alkaline soil better than wheat.
- Gram (Chana)RabiPulses
Needs little water. Too much irrigation grows leaf instead of pods.
- Lentil (Masur)RabiPulses
Sown on residual moisture after paddy across the Gangetic plain.
- MustardRabiOilseeds
Early October sowing beats aphid pressure that arrives with the cold.
- SunflowerRabiOilseeds
Can be sown in all 3 seasons where water allows.
- OnionRabiVegetables
The rabi crop stores. Kharif onion does not, which is why prices spike before rabi arrives.
- PotatoRabiVegetables
Plant when night temperature drops below 20 degrees, not by the calendar.
- CorianderRabiSpices
For leaf, sow every fortnight. For seed, one sowing in October.
Before you sow
- These are broad windows, not dates. India spans many agro-climatic zones and your district may differ by 3 or 4 weeks.
- Check your nearest Krishi Vigyan Kendra or state agriculture office before sowing. They publish the window for your block.
- Sowing to the rain, not to the calendar, is almost always the better call.
