Beans (Vegetable)

Water

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

Needs about 310 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 100 mm it can use in a normal year (60 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):

• Oct 16 °C / 5 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 11 °C / 1 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 6 °C / -4 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 3 °C / -6 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 5 °C / -4 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 9 °C / -1 °C (outside its best range)
• Apr 16 °C / 5 °C (outside its best range)

Nights in October can bring frost while the plants are young. Sow a little later, or cover the seedlings on cold nights.

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 (May–June 2026): about ₹6,650 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹1.7 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
