In Rasol, the villagers harvest the plants from the end of September up until the beginning of November.

However, because of the remoteness of the area, the Rasoli landrace still is purer than many other cultivars from the Parvati Valley. By the same token, Rasol is also much less touristy than neighboring Malana where the local landrace already shows obvious signs of hybrid contamination. That being said, it is paramount to preserve the genetics before the same thing happens in Rasol.
