What to sow, and when
Sowing months for open-field crops in each growing region we supply. For transplanted crops the months are for sowing the nursery. Local weather, altitude and irrigation change the picture, so ask our agronomists if you are unsure.
Sri Lanka · Two seasons: Maha (northeast monsoon, sown September to November) and Yala (sown March to May). Up-country grows cool crops most of the year.
