Coriander

Water

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

Needs about 360 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 60 mm it can use in a normal year, and 30 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

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

• Oct 30 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 29 °C / 19 °C
• Dec 29 °C / 17 °C
• Jan 31 °C / 17 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Coriander: 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of boron.

Likes pH 5.5–8.0.

Money

Yield: about 2.1 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (your district's own figure looked wrong).

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 (January–February 2026): about ₹6,427 a quintal across mandis in your state.

This week: about ₹14,300 a quintal, the middle of 21 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹18,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
