Carrot

Water

Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 320 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 130 mm it can use in a normal year (60 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 140 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 15–24 °C on average, and survives 3–30 °C.

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

• Oct 32 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 30 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 29 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 29 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Carrot: 7 out of 10 (okay).

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Many fields here are short of nitrogen, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.8–6.8.

Money

Yield: about 122 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

On rain alone it gets about 86% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 86% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹1,375 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in July.

Typical costs are about ₹92,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
