Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 330 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 30 mm it can use in a normal year, and 20 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 10–25 °C on average, and survives 5–30 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Sep 34 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
- Oct 33 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
- Nov 28 °C / 14 °C
- Dec 23 °C / 9 °C
Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
Likes pH 6.0–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 65 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.
