Greek term or phrase: βροχαρικα

Whole sentence is: Έδινε και χέρι στους μπιστεμένους του στα ποτιστικά, στα βροχάρικα, στα χέρσα.
I have (so far): He would help his confidants with the watering...
Have found that 'χερσα' means 'fallow land', but doesn't seem to make sense in the context. No Greek I know seems to know what 'βροχάρικα' mean.s
