Why, and how to make it work

Water

Rain falls about 7 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 1,270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 970 mm it can use in a normal year, and 730 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 26–45 °C on average, and survives 10–52 °C.

Soil

Likes pH 6.5–8.0. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

Yield: about 31 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

On rain alone it gets about 76% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 76% of this yield.
