Kiwi

Water

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

Needs about 1,340 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 770 mm it can use in a normal year, and 650 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 21–30 °C on average, and survives 8–35 °C.

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

• Jun 34 °C / 25 °C
• Jul 33 °C / 26 °C

Soil

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

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 11 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 4 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.
