Green Peas

Water

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

Needs about 190 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 20 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 130 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

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

Soil

Soil for Green Peas: 7 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of phosphorus.

Money

Yield: about 43 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

On rain alone it gets about 74% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 74% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–March 2026): about ₹1,895 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in September.

Typical costs are about ₹60,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
