Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,300 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 470 mm it can use in a normal year, and 400 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 24–30 °C on average, and survives 8–48 °C.

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 73 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 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.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹3,175 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in April.
Typical costs are about ₹16,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
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.
About 82% of local fields of this crop get it.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Urea 82%
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 8%
