Not in the score: nitrogen.

• The pH here suits it.

• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 125 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 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.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–April 2026): about ₹4,500 a quintal at mandis in your district.

Prices are usually best in December.

Typical costs are about ₹4.1 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
