Explanation:

Jowar and Arhar can be grown without irrigation facilities.
In India, jowar plant is grown in areas with less than 100 cm rainfall and temperature ranging from 26 deg to 33 deg C. After wheat, the sorghum or jowar is the grain with the highest cultivable land in the country. It is grown as a Rabi crop and in some areas as a kharif crop, from the months of October to February. For cultivation of jowar, the soil requirement in India is usually regur soil, with clayey and alluvium properties.
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.
