Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 250 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 40 mm it can use in a normal year (10 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 170 mm from the monsoon at sowing.
Temperature
Grows best at 15–24 °C on average, and survives 7–32 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Nov 27 °C / 12 °C
- Dec 22 °C / 8 °C
- Jan 19 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 23 °C / 11 °C

Soil
Likes pH 6.0–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 97 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
On rain alone it gets about 82% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 82% of this yield.
