Coriander

Water

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

Needs about 370 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 30 mm it can use in a normal year (20 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 0 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):

• Oct 30 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 30 °C / 18 °C
• Dec 30 °C / 16 °C
• Jan 31 °C / 17 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Coriander: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: salt.

• The pH here suits it.

Money

Yield: about 2.3 quintals an acre here (district figures).

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
