Arhar

Arhar crop requires average rainfall of 600-650 mm with moist conditions for the first eight weeks and drier conditions during flowering and pod development stage ,this will result in highly successful crop. Rains during flowering results in poor pollination.
Arhar crop grown successfully in summer, rainy and winter season, April-Summer, June-Kharif or rainy, September-Rabi or winter season.
A crop of semi-arid tropics tolerant to dry conditions because of well-developed deep root system. However, the critical growth stages are branching, flowering and pod filling where moisture stress causes adverse effect therefore in the absence of rains high irrigation is required.


Gujarat

In the major arhar producing districts [Dahod, Narmada, Surat, Bharuch] the rainfall(cumulative),temperature and RH in the last ten days were 119.9-360.7 mm,22.7-29.4 C and 92.1-92.7 %.The crop is in vegetative growth phase.The weather conditions particularly the rainfall ,humidity and temperature will boost more vegetative growth. Arhar is very much susceptible to water logging ,therefore excess rain water should invariably be drained out from the field,otherwise crop may be damaged.

The continuance of humid and hot condition is favourable for vegetative growth of the crop.
Among the Western UP districts early arhar is sown in the end of May or first week of June .Due to continuation of humid hot condition and rainfall crop vegetative phase is prolonged.

Groundnut

The crop can be grown successfully in places receiving a minimum rainfall of 1,250 mm. The rainfall should be well distributed well during the flowering and pegging of the crop.
