Chirand and wild rice was harvested during summer and again during winter. The wild forms of rice are "Oryza rifipogon" and "Oryza perennis", from which "Oryza sativa" (Asian rice) originated. The archaeological finds in Chirand are from a Neolithic deposit of thickness, a Chalcolithic layer thick and iron age formation of thickness. Copper was used during the Chalcolithic period, while iron was found in the upper strata. A cache of 88 Kushan period coins were unearthed at the site. Analysis of antiquities related to skeletal remains revealed 12 species of domesticated and wild animals: cattle, buffaloes ("Bubalisbubalis linn"), sheep ("Ovis aries"),
Elasmopalpus brown anterior and distal margins. The larvae feed on a wide range of plants but prefer grasses. Recorded host plants include a number of economically important plants such as "Phaseolus vulgaris", "Beta vulgaris", "Brassica oleracea" var. "capitata", "Cucumis melo", "Cyperus esculentus", "Zea mays", "Vigna unguiculata", "Phaseolus lunatus", "Avena sativa", "Pisum sativum", "Arachis hypogaea", "Capsicum annuum", "Oryza sativa", "Secale cereale", "Sorghum bicolor", "Glycine max", "Sorghum sudanense", "Saccharum officinarum", "Ipomoea batatas", "Lycopersicon esculentum", "Brassica rapa" and "Triticum aestivum". They tunnel into the crown of their host plant, severely weakening large plants and often killing young seedlings. They spin silken tubes near the
