Farmers in other areas of Punjab and Sindh also grow henna, but to a lesser extent. Punjab is a productive agricultural area, producing two crops a year, both summer and winter. The Punjabi hennagrowing region receives on average 170mm 7”, falling during two seasons. The summer monsoons bring rain from June to September, and winter rains fall between December and March. There is no rain between these seasons. The heat is most intense in May, before the monsoon, often 105 to115 F, and may reach 120F or more 40 to 50C. The henna crops are harvested at the end of the dry seasons, just as the two rainy seasons begin. The crop following a hot, dry season has a higher Lawsone content than that following a cool season. A henna crop harvested after a rainy season has lower Lawsone content than that following a dry season. During the summer season, Kharif season, farmers also raise rice, cotton, sugarcane, and maize. During the winter season, Rabi season, farmers also raise wheat and vegetable crops.
