Beetroot

Water

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

Needs about 160 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 20 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 15–25 °C on average, and survives 4–35 °C.

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

• Nov 28 °C / 11 °C
• Dec 22 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 19 °C / 6 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

• The pH here suits it.

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.
