Cabbage
Sow in June, harvest around September
This season's sowing time (June–July) is over.
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Sold at 1 mandi in your district.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Needs care: Risky: 6 irrigations short
- Doesn't suit: Too hot here in this season
- Not known: No soil data
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 6 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 490 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 200 mm it can use in a normal year, and 130 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 15–24 °C on average, and survives 7–32 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
- Sep 34 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
Days in June get hotter than it likes. Time sowing so it flowers before then.
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).
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 (September–October 2026): about ₹1,325 a quintal at mandis in your district.
- ₹660 2023
- ₹1,250 2024
- ₹650 2025
Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.
Prices are usually best in September.
Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
