Sow in June, harvest around September
This season's sowing time (June–July) is over.
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across your state.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Suits: Ideal temperatures
- Suits: Soil 9/10
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 340 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 80 mm it can use in a normal year, and 50 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 27 °C / 16 °C
- Jul 28 °C / 17 °C
- Aug 28 °C / 17 °C
Soil
Soil for Beans (Vegetable): 9 out of 10 (good).
- The pH here suits it.
- Most fields here are short of iron.
- Most fields here are short of manganese.
Likes pH 5.5–7.5.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 43 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
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–October 2026): about ₹5,250 a quintal across mandis in your state.
- ₹4,710 2022
- ₹4,540 2023
- ₹4,900 2024
- ₹5,710 2025
Prices are usually best in June.
Typical costs are about ₹1.1 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
How to make it work
-
Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.
Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
-
Short of manganese Your soil is likely short of manganese.
Spray manganese sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, on the young crop.
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):
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 100%
- Urea 100%
