Chrysanthemum

Water

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

Needs about 640 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 250 mm it can use in a normal year, and 130 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 32 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 32 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 32 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)

• Dec 30 °C / 19 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Chrysanthemum: 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

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.
