Crop Calendar & Sowing & Harvest Chart

A crop calendar shows the months to sow, grow and harvest each crop in a given region. It turns local agronomic experience into a simple month-by-month chart so you can plan planting, labour and harvest timing at a glance.

Yes. On first load the tool reads your browser's time zone and picks the closest calendar region — India/South Asia, Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere — so the windows are right immediately. Nothing is uploaded; it's a local time-zone lookup. You can override it with the region buttons or press ‘Detect’ to re-run, and your choice is remembered.

101 crops across 10 categories — cereals, millets, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, tubers, fruit, spices, cash crops and fodder. View them three ways: a month-by-month matrix, a radial year-wheel that shows the busiest months, and a list of crop cards. Search by name, filter by category, sort by sowing month, duration or A–Z, and tap any crop for its full sow → grow → harvest timeline.

Tap the current month in the calendar (or use the ‘Sow this month’ panel) and the tool lists every crop whose sowing window includes it for your region — so you instantly see what's plantable now.

In India, Kharif crops are sown with the monsoon (June–July) and harvested in autumn (October–November) — rice, maize, cotton, soybean, groundnut. Rabi crops are sown in winter (October–November) and harvested in spring (March–April) — wheat, barley, chickpea, mustard. Select ‘India’ to see both seasons.

In India's Rabi season wheat is sown around late October–November and harvested in March–April. In the Northern Hemisphere temperate zone, winter wheat is sown in autumn (Sep–Oct) and harvested in summer (Jul). Pick your region to see the right window.

Rice is a warm, wet-season crop. In India it's a Kharif crop sown in June and harvested around November; in the Northern Hemisphere it's sown in May and harvested in September. Select your region in the calendar.

Seasons are six months offset from the Northern Hemisphere, so the tool shifts the Northern windows by six months for Australia, southern Africa and South America — what's sown in April up north is sown in October down south.

They're representative regional windows for planning. Your exact sowing date can shift by two to four weeks with latitude, altitude, the monsoon's arrival and the specific variety — always confirm with your local agricultural calendar or extension office.

Yes — it includes potato, tomato, onion and cabbage alongside cereals, pulses, oilseeds and cash crops. Filter by ‘Veg’ to see just the vegetable windows for your region.

Sowing time is the short window when you plant; the growing season is the whole period from sowing to harvest (the crop's duration, roughly 90–170 days for most field crops, longer for sugarcane). The calendar shows sow, grow and harvest as separate coloured bands.

Sowing in the correct window aligns the crop with the temperature, day-length and rainfall it needs at each stage. Planting too early or late risks frost, heat or moisture stress at flowering, which is the single biggest avoidable cause of low yield.
