Data follows the Punjab Agriculture Department crop calendar. Windows can shift with weather, variety and district — the data table in this page is editable so windows can be updated. Confirm with your local agriculture office for your area.
How to use
- Choose "Crop" to see the full sowing window, harvest window, seed rate and advisory for one crop.
- Choose "Month" to list every crop that can be sown in that month.
- Use the seed rate per acre to calculate seed for your acreage.
Note: Rabi crops are sown in autumn-winter and harvested in spring (wheat, gram, potato, onion). Kharif crops are sown in spring-summer and harvested in autumn (rice, cotton, sugarcane, maize).
Tips
- Use certified seed from a registered dealer; seed rate assumes normal germination.
- Get a soil test before sowing to set fertilizer doses correctly.
- Sow within the recommended window — every late week costs yield.
