Colocasia (Arbi)

Water

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

Needs about 710 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 270 mm it can use in a normal year, and 200 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 21–28 °C on average, and survives 10–35 °C.

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

• Jun 39 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 34 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
• Oct 33 °C / 20 °C
• Nov 28 °C / 13 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–6.5. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

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–January 2026): about ₹3,350 a quintal across India's mandis.

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

Prices are usually best in November.
