Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

Needs about 210 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 90 mm it can use in a normal year (20 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 31 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 28 °C / 18 °C
• Dec 25 °C / 14 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 8 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: sulphur.

• The pH here suits it, though not most crops.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of phosphorus.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 29 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 ₹6,113 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹55,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
