Cucumber

Water

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

Needs about 380 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 60 mm it can use in a normal year, and 20 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 41 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 37 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 36 °C / 27 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

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

Not in the score: nitrogen.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of manganese.
• Most fields here are short of boron.

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 ₹4,000 a quintal at mandis in your district.

Prices are usually best in August.

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.
