Cucumber

Water

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

Needs about 370 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 80 mm it can use in a normal year, and 40 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 18–32 °C on average, and survives 6–38 °C.

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

• Jun 40 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 37 °C / 27 °C
• Aug 35 °C / 26 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Cucumber: 7 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of sulphur.
• Most fields here are short of manganese.

Likes pH 6.0–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 83 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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 (August–September 2026): about ₹4,015 a quintal at mandis in your district.

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹90,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
