Water

Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 230 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 40 mm it can use in a normal year (10 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 170 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 15–25 °C on average, and survives 4–32 °C.

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

• Nov 27 °C / 12 °C
• Dec 22 °C / 8 °C
• Jan 19 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 23 °C / 11 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–8.0. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

Yield: about 5.2 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

On rain alone it gets about 88% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 88% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (March–April 2026): about ₹10,125 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹14,525 a quintal, the middle of 22 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹47,000 a season after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹19,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
