Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,130 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 630 mm it can use in a normal year, and 490 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 12–35 °C on average, and survives 10–40 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 26 °C
- Jul 34 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 33 °C / 26 °C
- Sep 33 °C / 24 °C

It needs a cold winter to flower: a coldest month averaging 12 °C or less. Here the coldest month averages 13 °C.
Soil
Likes pH 6.5–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 6.2 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 4 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
