Capsicum

Water

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

Needs about 420 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 10 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 10 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 17–30 °C on average, and survives 8–35 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Nov 28 °C / 13 °C
• Dec 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 21 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 25 °C / 11 °C
• Mar 31 °C / 16 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–6.8. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

Yield: about 62 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 (April–May 2026): about ₹2,063 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in October.

Typical costs are about ₹81,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
