Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 2 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 310 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 40 mm it can use in a normal year (20 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.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Oct 32 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
- Nov 30 °C / 18 °C
- Dec 28 °C / 14 °C
- Jan 29 °C / 14 °C
Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
Soil for Green Peas: 9 out of 10 (good).
- The pH here suits it.
- Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
Likes pH 5.5–7.0.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 36 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
On rain alone it gets about 75% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 75% of this yield.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹1,899 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in March.
Typical costs are about ₹48,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
