Beans (Vegetable)

Water

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

Needs about 380 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 160 mm it can use in a normal year, and 100 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):

• Jun 40 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

Days in June get hotter than it likes. Time sowing so it flowers before then.

Soil

Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 7 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: nitrogen.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of boron.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

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

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (September 2026): about ₹3,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in February.

Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
