No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across India.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Needs care: Frost risk in January
- Not known: No soil score
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,550 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 570 mm it can use in a normal year, and 490 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 22–34 °C on average, and survives 14–38 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 27 °C
- Jul 34 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 33 °C / 25 °C
- Sep 33 °C / 24 °C
- Oct 31 °C / 18 °C
- Nov 26 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 21 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 18 °C / 6 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 22 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 28 °C / 14 °C (outside its best range)
- Apr 34 °C / 19 °C
- May 39 °C / 24 °C
- Jun 39 °C / 27 °C
Months in orange are outside its best range.
Nights in January can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.
Soil
No soil score here: the soil tests don't say enough about nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium.
Likes pH 5.0–8.0.
Money
Yield: about 16 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
Mandi price through the year (December 2025–May 2026, July–November 2026): about ₹5,000 a quintal across India's mandis.
This week: about ₹5,000 a quintal, the middle of 70 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).
- ₹2,850 2021
- ₹2,530 2022
- ₹2,430 2023
- ₹3,030 2024
- ₹6,010 2025
Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.
Prices are usually best in December.
Typical costs are about ₹27,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
