Carrot

Water

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

Needs about 370 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year, and 0 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 38 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 34 °C / 14 °C
• Dec 29 °C / 10 °C
• Jan 27 °C / 8 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in October get hotter than it likes. Time sowing so it flowers before then.

Not in the score: nitrogen, sulphur and boron.

• The pH here suits it.

Money

Yield: about 29 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 ₹1,150 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in October.

Typical costs are about ₹22,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
