Carrot

Water

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

Needs about 380 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 140 mm it can use in a normal year, and 70 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

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

• Oct 32 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 30 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 30 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 32 °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.
• Many fields here are short of nitrogen, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of sulphur.

Likes pH 5.8–6.8.

Money

Yield: about 102 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 ₹1,375 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in July.

Typical costs are about ₹77,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
