Chrysanthemum

Water

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

Needs about 590 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 160 mm it can use in a normal year, and 110 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 18–25 °C on average, and survives 14–31 °C.

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

• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 34 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Oct 33 °C / 18 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 28 °C / 11 °C
• Dec 21 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Chrysanthemum: 7 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: nitrogen.

• Soil here is often more alkaline than it likes.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Most fields here are short of boron.

Likes pH 6.5–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 99 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
