Beans (Vegetable)

Water

Rain falls about 3 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 330 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 200 mm it can use in a normal year, and 150 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):

• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 34 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.

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 this season's harvest so far (October 2026): about ₹4,400 a quintal across mandis in your state.

This week: about ₹4,925 a quintal, the middle of 142 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices are usually best in August.

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.
