Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 9 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 1,240 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 810 mm it can use in a normal year, and 580 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.
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
