Why, and how to make it work Hide details

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 48 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

This week: about ₹4,300 a quintal, the middle of 380 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).
