When is the rice crop usually planted in Pakistan?

In Pakistan, the rice crop is typically raised during the Kharif season. Peak season for the sowing or transplanting of rice appears to be from late May to July. Seedbeds for rice cultivation begin to be formed in mid-May, with the peak transplanting of the crop into flooded fields occurring over the period between June 1st and June 20th for maximum yields. This corresponds with the onset of the monsoon rains, which provide the crop with the essential rains, particularly in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh, which are the chief centers of rice cultivation.
