Brinjal
Sow in October, harvest around March
Still sowing time: sow by the end of November.
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across India.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Needs care: Risky: 4 irrigations short
- Doesn't suit: Too cold here in this season
- Not known: No soil data
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 390 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 70 mm it can use in a normal year (40 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 150 mm from the monsoon at sowing.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–35 °C on average, and survives 9–40 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Oct 26 °C / 17 °C
- Nov 23 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 20 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 20 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 22 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 26 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)
Nights in January can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.
Soil
Likes pH 5.5–6.8. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 66 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
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 (March–April 2026): about ₹1,850 a quintal across India's mandis.
- ₹1,450 2021
- ₹1,640 2022
- ₹1,510 2023
- ₹1,910 2024
- ₹1,750 2025
Prices are usually best in August.
Typical costs are about ₹65,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
