Jasmine

Water

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

Needs about 1,460 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 570 mm it can use in a normal year, and 470 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 38 °C / 27 °C
• Jul 31 °C / 24 °C
• Aug 30 °C / 24 °C
• Sep 31 °C / 23 °C
• Oct 34 °C / 20 °C
• Nov 32 °C / 16 °C
• Dec 30 °C / 13 °C
• Jan 29 °C / 12 °C

• Mar 37 °C / 19 °C
• Apr 41 °C / 25 °C
• May 43 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 38 °C / 27 °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: 8 out of 10 (good).

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

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 20 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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.
