Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 2 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 50 mm it can use in a normal year (30 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 160 mm from the monsoon at sowing.
Temperature
Grows best at 10–25 °C on average, and survives 5–30 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Oct 28 °C / 19 °C
- Nov 26 °C / 13 °C
- Dec 22 °C / 9 °C
- Jan 22 °C / 8 °C
Soil
Likes pH 6.0–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 52 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
On rain alone it gets about 78% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 78% of this yield.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹2,750 a quintal at mandis in your district.
Prices are usually best in August.
Typical costs are about ₹38,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
