Jasmine

Water

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

Needs about 1,400 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 750 mm it can use in a normal year, and 690 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 32 °C / 25 °C
• Aug 31 °C / 25 °C
• Sep 31 °C / 24 °C
• Oct 32 °C / 21 °C
• Nov 31 °C / 16 °C
• Dec 28 °C / 13 °C
• Jan 28 °C / 13 °C
• Feb 31 °C / 16 °C
• Mar 36 °C / 20 °C
• Apr 40 °C / 24 °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).

Not in the score: boron.

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