The site scale observations of the Indian crops are very rarely available for public access. Students at all agricultural institutes across India carry out experiments on Indian crops as part of their curriculum and report the results in a thesis. The thesis from such institutes is uploaded to the Krishikosh repository (https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in). To fill the gap of absence of crop data on Indian crops, we started to look at this repository and collect data. We have collected and harmonized crop phenology and agricultural management data of major Indian crops such as rice from these theses. In the current dataset we are providing the site scale experiments and results of rice crop. We are reporting data from 23 sites, a few of which have multiple growing seasons, therefore in total we have combined 42 datasets.
