Jasmine

Water

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

Needs about 1,390 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 380 mm it can use in a normal year, and 260 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 41 °C / 29 °C
• Jul 35 °C / 27 °C
• Aug 33 °C / 26 °C
• Sep 34 °C / 25 °C
• Oct 35 °C / 20 °C
• Nov 30 °C / 13 °C
• Dec 25 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 23 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 28 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 34 °C / 17 °C
• Apr 39 °C / 22 °C
• May 42 °C / 27 °C
• Jun 41 °C / 29 °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: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.

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.
