Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What grows in Garbahaarey with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.
