Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 220 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 0 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):

• Nov 28 °C / 12 °C
• Dec 23 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 20 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 24 °C / 10 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Nights in January can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.

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 (February–March 2026): about ₹3,100 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in February.

Typical costs are about ₹83,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
