Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Rain is enough in a normal year. Keep one irrigation ready for a dry year.

Needs about 200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 60 mm it can use in a normal year (20 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 170 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 26 °C / 18 °C
• Nov 23 °C / 13 °C
• Dec 21 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 6 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: organic carbon.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 58 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹3,439 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹1.1 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
