Jasmine

Water

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

Needs about 1,500 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 90 mm it can use in a normal year, and 40 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–35 °C on average, and survives 14–37 °C.

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

• Jun 42 °C / 28 °C
• Jul 39 °C / 28 °C
• Aug 36 °C / 26 °C
• Sep 38 °C / 25 °C
• Oct 37 °C / 21 °C
• Nov 32 °C / 14 °C
• Dec 27 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 24 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 29 °C / 11 °C
• Mar 35 °C / 17 °C
• Apr 40 °C / 23 °C
• May 43 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 42 °C / 28 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

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

Soil

Soil for Jasmine: 6 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: nitrogen, sulphur and boron.

• Soil here is often too alkaline for it.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.
• Most fields here are short of iron.

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 42 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 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.
