Water

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

Needs about 380 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 50 mm it can use in a normal year (20 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 60 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

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

• Nov 29 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 29 °C / 17 °C
• Jan 30 °C / 17 °C

Money

Yield: about 77 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 (January–February 2026): about ₹2,400 a quintal at mandis in your district.

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹58,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
