Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 50 mm it can use in a normal year (20 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 130 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 25 °C / 17 °C
- Nov 23 °C / 13 °C
- Dec 20 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 20 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 58 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
On rain alone it gets about 88% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 88% of this yield.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹3,439 a quintal across India's mandis.
