Why, and how to make it work

Water

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

Needs about 1,410 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 410 mm it can use in a normal year, and 340 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

Soil

Soil for Jasmine: 7 out of 10 (okay).

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

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

How the soil score works

Money

Yield: about 13 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.

How to make it work

  • Short of nitrogen Your soil is likely short of nitrogen.

    Add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.

    Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

  • Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.

    Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.

    Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

  • Short of zinc Your soil is likely short of zinc.

    Mix 10 kg of zinc sulphate per acre into the soil before sowing. One dose lasts two or three seasons.

    Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

  • Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.

    Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.

    Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
