Why, and how to make it work

Water

Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

Needs about 300 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 820 mm it can use in a normal year, and 700 mm in a dry year.

Heavy rain here can waterlog it. Grow it on raised beds or land that drains well.

Temperature

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

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

  • Jun 32 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jul 31 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
  • Aug 32 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 9 out of 10 (good).

  • The pH here suits it, though not most crops.
  • Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
  • Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

How the soil score works

Money

Yield: about 28 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 (September–October 2026): about ₹4,750 a quintal across India's mandis.

Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
  1. ₹3,240 2021
  2. ₹4,230 2022
  3. ₹4,000 2023
  4. ₹4,560 2024
  5. ₹4,800 2025

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹75,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.

How to make it work

  • Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.

    Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.

    Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.

What local farmers put on it (share of fields):

  • Muriate of Potash (MOP) 100%
  • Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) 100%
  • Urea 100%
