Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Rain falls about 4 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 280 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 120 mm it can use in a normal year, and 60 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

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

• Jun 23 °C / 12 °C
• Jul 22 °C / 13 °C
• Aug 22 °C / 12 °C

Soil

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

Not in the score: sulphur and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 53 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 (September–October 2026): about ₹4,350 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹1.4 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
