Jackfruit

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 1,270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 300 mm it can use in a normal year, and 230 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 16–34 °C.

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

• Jun 39 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 34 °C / 25 °C
• Oct 33 °C / 20 °C
• Nov 28 °C / 13 °C
• Dec 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 20 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 25 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 31 °C / 16 °C
• Apr 37 °C / 22 °C
• May 40 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 39 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in June get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.

Money

Yield: about 95 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

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 (June 2026): about ₹1,500 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
