Ber

Water

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

Needs about 1,270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 420 mm it can use in a normal year, and 240 mm in a dry year.

Grows best at 25–42 °C on average, and survives 7–50 °C.

Soil

Soil for Ber: 7 out of 10 (okay).

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 45 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

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 ₹3,127 a quintal across India's mandis.

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

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹66,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
