The kharif season is set to commence at the end of this month across many regions of India. The kharif crop cycle typically begins with the onset of the southwest monsoon, which usually arrives in June and lasts until September. Farmers prepare to sow a variety of crops during this period, including rice, maize, cotton, and pulses.

In anticipation of the season, agricultural experts are advising farmers to ensure the adequacy of soil moisture and the quality of seeds. Additionally, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is expected to release detailed forecasts, which will assist farmers in making informed decisions regarding crop cultivation.

This year, the kharif planting is particularly crucial, as it contributes significantly to the countrys agricultural output and food security. As the season approaches, it is essential for farmers to stay updated on weather patterns and government policies that may affect crop prices and availability of resources.
