Green Peas

Water

Rain falls about 4 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 120 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 10–24 °C on average, and survives 4–30 °C.

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

• Nov 31 °C / 13 °C
• Dec 25 °C / 9 °C
• Jan 23 °C / 8 °C
• Feb 28 °C / 11 °C

Soil

Soil for Green Peas: 8 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.
• Most fields here are short of iron.

Likes pH 5.5–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 15 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 (February–March 2026): about ₹2,100 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in September.

Typical costs are about ₹21,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
