Beans (Vegetable)

Water

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

Needs about 290 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 220 mm it can use in a normal year, and 150 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

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

• Jul 28 °C / 22 °C
• Aug 28 °C / 21 °C
• Sep 29 °C / 21 °C

Soil

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

• The pH here suits it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Most fields here are short of iron.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 18 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

On rain alone it gets about 76% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 76% of this yield.

Mandi price at this season's harvest so far (October–November 2026): about ₹5,125 a quintal at mandis in your district.

This week: about ₹4,000 a quintal, the middle of 19 mandis in your state (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹6,000 a season after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹49,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
