Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 210 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 10 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 16–25 °C on average, and survives 7–32 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Nov 28 °C / 12 °C
• Dec 23 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 20 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 24 °C / 10 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 66 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.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–March 2026): about ₹3,989 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹1.4 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
