Green Peas

Water

Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 250 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 200 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

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

Money

Yield: about 54 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

On rain alone it gets about 82% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 82% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–March 2026): about ₹3,177 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 October.

Typical costs are about ₹75,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
