Assam Crop Calendar - Summary

A crop calendar is a vital tool for farmers in Assam, guiding them on the rice-growing season from the fallow period and land preparation to crop establishment, maintenance, harvesting, and storage. Understanding how to utilize a crop calendar helps farmers increase their productivity and manage resources efficiently.

The benefits of following a crop calendar include:

Planning for the purchase and usage of inputs,
Creating a cash flow budget for the year,
Identifying credit needs and the duration for which credit is required,
Assessing labor needs and scheduling for peak activity times, and
Coordinating with contractors for land preparation and harvesting.

Steps to Create a Crop Calendar

Guidelines for Effective Planning

Identify the best planting date. Get this information from local agricultural experts, experienced farmers, and community advice.
Check the time each rice variety takes from planting to harvest. This period varies depending on growing conditions, especially water availability and sunlight. Generally, short-duration varieties mature in 100−120 days, medium-duration varieties in 120−140 days, and long-duration varieties take 140 days or more.
Most rice types require about 50−55 days from the time panicles begin until harvest.
On your calendar, mark the planting date along with the dates for other important tasks such as ploughing, weeding, fertilizing, and harvesting.
Estimate the amount of labor, equipment, and finance needed for each stage throughout the growing season.
Display the calendar in a spot where you can easily see it to remind you of upcoming tasks.
