Water

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

Needs about 1,560 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 300 mm it can use in a normal year, and 230 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 14–28 °C on average, and survives 10–34 °C.

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

• Jun 39 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in June get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

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

No yield records for this crop yet.

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 at last season's harvest (December 2025–February 2026): about ₹21,150 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹21,400 a quintal, the middle of 4 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in December.
