Soil

Soil for Bael: 9 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.

Likes pH 6.0–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 32 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 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.
