Water

Rain falls about 2 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 300 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 10 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 200 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 34 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 34 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 32 °C / 16 °C

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 39 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

On rain alone it gets about 71% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 71% of this yield.

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 ₹74,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
