Beetroot

Water

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

Needs about 250 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 40 mm it can use in a normal year (20 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 10 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Oct 30 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 30 °C / 18 °C
• Dec 30 °C / 16 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Money

No yield records for this crop yet.

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 (December 2025–January 2026): about ₹2,113 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in May.
