Beans (Vegetable)

Water

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

Needs about 240 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year, and 0 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):

• Oct 36 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 30 °C / 11 °C
• Dec 25 °C / 7 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

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

Soil

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

Not in the score: nitrogen, sulphur and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of phosphorus.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 9.7 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 (January–February 2026): about ₹3,439 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹18,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
