Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain is enough, even in a dry year.
Needs about 240 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 250 mm it can use in a normal year (160 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 190 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 / 19 °C
- Nov 26 °C / 18 °C
- Dec 26 °C / 17 °C
Soil
Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 8 out of 10 (good).
Not in the score: organic carbon and pH.
- Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
- Most fields here are short of sulphur.
Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.

How to make it work
-
Short of sulphur Your soil is likely short of sulphur.
Use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.
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):
- Urea 81%
- NPK Mixture 47%
- Muriate of Potash (MOP) 37%
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 2%
