Green Peas

Water

Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

Needs about 220 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 70 mm it can use in a normal year (40 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.

• Oct 24 °C / 17 °C
• Nov 22 °C / 12 °C
• Dec 20 °C / 9 °C

Soil

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

Not in the score: salt, sulphur, zinc and 4 more.

• The pH here suits it, though not most crops.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 19 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹2,244 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in October.

Typical costs are about ₹25,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
