Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 4 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 620 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 450 mm it can use in a normal year, and 370 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–35 °C on average, and survives 9–40 °C.

Soil

Money

On rain alone it gets about 73% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 73% of this yield.
