can someone please share the vegetable crop calendar that suits for Karnataka zone. Still we are in dilemma what to grow.
Thanks in advance.

Found a File which provides crop calendar for all states
these are all cash crops

Thank you so much for the details.
Bagepalli region is a semi arid drought prone one with low, erratic and spatial rainfall.
The low water table is tapped through bore-wells drilled to more than 100 meters depth.
Even these dry up in the summer months, from April to September every year, when temperatures rise to a dry heat of 38 °C.
there is only 1 rain-fed crop a year, whose stand is from late June till December.
Groundnuts are grown on these dry lands, inter-cropped with red gram, cowpea, field beans, green gram, jowar, maize and castor on the field bunds.
Irrigated groundnut, onions and sunflower are the common bore-well irrigated crops. Ragi (golden millet) and a coarse variety of paddy are cultivated under irrigation tanks.
This is fantastic information. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have learnt about few vegetable crops hard way this time. They were planted by end of october. Only to be stunned by winter in december.
