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.
On rain alone it gets about 84% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 84% of this yield.
