Water

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

Needs about 1,080 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 630 mm it can use in a normal year, and 490 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 15–28 °C on average, and survives 12–36 °C.

Money

Yield: about 46 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state). Government figures count it with lime.

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.

Mandi price through the year (December 2025–November 2026): about ₹4,750 a quintal at mandis in your district.

This week: about ₹7,500 a quintal, the middle of 145 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹1.1 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
