If you've ever stood in a nursery holding a packet of seeds, unsure whether now is the right time to plant them, you're not alone. Turns out, the answer isn't really a guess; India's own agricultural institutions have been mapping this out for decades. The country's growing calendar is split into three official seasons: Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid a system the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and its associated bodies use to guide sowing nationwide.
