Why, and how to make it work

Water

Rain falls about 9 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 1,520 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,110 mm it can use in a normal year, and 920 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 24–30 °C on average, and survives 18–36 °C.

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

  • Jun 34 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jul 32 °C / 26 °C
  • Aug 32 °C / 26 °C
  • Sep 32 °C / 26 °C
  • Oct 32 °C / 24 °C
  • Nov 30 °C / 19 °C
  • Dec 26 °C / 14 °C (outside its best range)

How the soil score works

Money

Yield: about 9.7 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

On rain alone it gets about 73% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 73% of this yield.
