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
- Needs care: Cool in October
- Not known: No soil score
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,080 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 570 mm it can use in a normal year, and 490 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 25–42 °C on average, and survives 7–50 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):

Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
No soil score here: the soil tests don't say enough about nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium.
Likes pH 5.5–7.5.
Money
Yield: about 71 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
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–March 2026): about ₹3,400 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in December.
Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
